AI-Enhanced Lesson Design Framework

My Fulbright Research Project journey began with an interest aimed at leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to differentiate learning but after speaking to my faculty advisor, it became apparent that AI's potential extended far beyond just differentiation. It was a tool that could significantly augment our lesson planning process, making the process a lot more efficient as well as opening new opportunities and experiences for our students.


My focus then shifted towards creating a prompt template that could guide AI in generating lesson plans. The experiment was nothing short of mind-blowing! My jaw literally dropped when I saw what AI was capable of given the right prompts.


I initially thought that I had completed what I set out to do, but my faculty advisor challenged me to encapsulate this newfound knowledge into a structured framework. This framework demonstrates the synergistic nature of how AI can enhance the lesson design process.


I initially named it the "AI-Powered Lesson Design Framework." However, after reading Learning Evolution: The New era of AI in the Classroom by Carl Hooker, I realized that the term "powered" might mislead one into thinking that the AI was the driving force. This was far from the reality. The essence of effective lesson planning still very much lies in the human touch - the understanding, empathy, and creativity that only we as educators can provide.


Therefore, I decided to rename it to the “AI-Enhanced Lesson Design Framework." As Carl Hooker aptly puts it, "it's about how AI will enhance our work going forward". AI is just another, albeit more powerful, educational technology tool which will enhance the work that we as educators do and will continue to do. AI enhances the design process by providing data-driven insights and automating certain aspects, thereby freeing up educators to focus on what truly matters - knowing their students and designing customized learning experiences that caters to their needs.


I am not ashamed to admit that this blog post was written with the help of AI. It showcases the boundless possibilities that arise when we blend cutting-edge technology with the age-old wisdom of human interaction in education. Through the AI-Enhanced Lesson Design Framework, I envision a future where educators are equipped with the right tools to design amazing and meaningful learning experiences for every student.
