Description¶

The review recommends that educational development support instructors to design and facilitate learning that purposefully integrates AI technologies. Kumar et al. (2024) themes include "the use of GenAI for instructional design; (b) collaborative guidance for faculty integration of GenAI; and (c) training, resources, and guidelines on the integration of GenAI." Specific areas include introductions to AI, AI for course development or assessment, AI in teaching, image generation, and student-focused training, with emphasis on sharing, collaboration, and active participation among trainees.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Institutional commitment to educational development provision and collaborative guidance structures

Constraints¶

• The review cautions that intentional selection and integration of AI technology is critical and the human dynamic cannot be lost

Target Learners¶

• higher education instructors
• instructional designers

Target Learning Goals¶

• designing and facilitating online learning that purposefully integrates AI technologies

Related Strategies¶

• Operationalize the faculty standards through structured professional learning pathways with modules, microcredentials, and peer review
• Invest in sustained, role-specific, discipline-specific professional learning and structured student AI literacy pathways across PK16
• Integrate AI literacy education as an integral component of first-year curriculum development rather than an add-on
• Integrate AI into university physics with instructional structure, task alignment, and critical evaluation of AI outputs
