Generative AI for Creating Educational Content and Assessments

Digital educators and instructional designers often spend significant time developing structured content, from lesson outlines to assessment questions. Generative AI offers powerful new ways to streamline this creation process. This course teaches you the fundamental principles of applied prompt engineering specific to educational content development. You will move beyond basic queries to instruct AI models to produce structured, usable outputs like full lesson outlines, varied assessment formats, and scripts for multimedia resources, positioning you as a modern digital content professional. What you'll learn: * Understand the core capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs) in an educational context. * Master advanced prompt engineering techniques to request structured content, including JSON or markdown lesson outlines. * Design and refine prompts for generating diverse assessment types, such as multiple-choice questions, short answers, and scenario-based tests. * Apply AI tools to draft scripts, storyboards, and outlines for various multimedia learning materials. * Practice ethical content creation, ensuring accuracy, minimizing bias, and respecting intellectual property guidelines when using AI-generated text. The curriculum begins with foundational AI terminology and ethical usage before diving into practical prompt structures for lesson planning and assessment design. You will work through practical examples focused on creating complete, ready-to-use educational units. This course is designed for educators, instructional designers, trainers, and content creators who are new to using generative AI and want to apply these tools specifically to digital learning development. No prior experience with programming or advanced AI concepts is required. Start leveraging the power of AI to transform your educational content workflow today.
