Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

Traditional course development processes are too slow. AI-generated courses lack pedagogical rigor. This dichotomy ignores a third option: AI-centric frameworks that maintain quality while dramatically reducing development time. Indiana Wesleyan University's "Path 2" framework leverages custom AI bots, workflow automation, and 'human in the loop' methodology to transform course development. This session demonstrates how structured AI conversations guide developers from learning objectives, through course outlining and alignment, all the way to full course design. Participants experience the process firsthand, drastically reducing course development time while maintaining sound instructional design practices like backwards design principles. Attendees receive a bot template, workflow configurations, and a prompt template for immediate institutional application.
