Fear Less, Create More

[Guest NelsonLWalker]

 

Using AI tools like Copilot for creating learning courses may raise some issues for instructional designers. However, I do not share these concerns, but they exist.

 

AI has a potential to change the way instructional design is done by automating tasks like instructional design, graphic design, and accessibility, which rely on AI's ability to find relevant content.

 

Some instructional designers are not happy with the features that Copilot offers right now, feeling that they are not enough to help them in their work. I find it very useful in the development stages of content creation because of some of Copilot's features.

 

 

 

 

Some of the problems reported by developers are in answers and limitations when using sheets that do not work well with Copilot's features. I think there are some solutions, but Copilot is always improving.

 

AI-generated content may be inaccurate or irrelevant, which affects the quality of training materials. I have this concern too, so I use Copilot as a helper tool, and I always review their suggestions for accuracy.

 

There may be worries about the honesty of AI-generated content, especially if students plagiarize or cheat with it. My wife is a teacher and has seen this problem when grading papers. She uses software that can spot plagiarism. It’s how we adapt to the times.

 

 

These fears show the need to evaluate AI-generated content critically and use AI tools that fit personal and organizational needs to make sure they improve and support the instructional design process rather than replace it.

 

I always welcome change, especially in technology. I think we shouldn't be afraid of Copilot or any AI tool that helps us. I use Copilot at least 5 times a day and it boosts my confidence and power. This is my final remark:
