Course Design Institute: Generative AI Edition

Just like the annual Summer Course Design Institute, the Generative AI Edition will guide instructors step-by-step in developing a course where they can have confidence that all enrolled students will have the opportunity to achieve the learning outcomes—no matter how rigorous or ambitious.
The next iteration of the Course Design Institute: Generative AI Edition will take place in late 2025.

Overview

Interested in (re)designing a course to integrate more inclusive and engaging practices? Want to jumpstart building your course for winter or spring quarter?

Whether you’re enthusiastic, skeptical, or curious about using generative AI tools as course building partners, we invite you to join colleagues, Searle Center educational developers, and Northwestern IT Teaching and Learning Technologies learning engineers this December for the Course Design Institute: Generative AI Edition!

Participants will experiment with using generative AI tools to craft meaningful learning outcomes, create authentic assessments aligned to those outcomes, sequence activities accordingly, and finally, construct Canvas-ready modules.
