We developed an AI-powered tool to integrate the User Designed Inquiry (UDI) framework we developed into curriculum design, helping faculty create a student-centered, inquiry-driven, and competency-based course. This tool simplified the transition from a traditional syllabus to an inclusive, High Impact Practices (HIPs) UDI syllabus. By analyzing uploaded syllabi, the AI applies a backward design process to integrate Universal Design for Learning (UDL), professional and academic competencies, and HIPs into the course learning objectives, assessments, and activities, providing a UDI-aligned syllabus. This tool empowers faculty to bridge the gap between complex pedagogical theory and practical, student-oriented course design.
