Ushering in the Future of Lesson Designing

AI-Enhanced Lesson Design (AI-ELD) Process

Lesson planning is ultimately the cornerstone of effective teaching, laying the foundation for a deep and meaningful learning experience for students. However, many educators find that lesson planning can be challenging and time-consuming. So, what if AI could help educators become better designers of meaningful learning experiences?

What if AI could help educators become better designers of meaningful learning experiences?

This question was the driving force behind the AI-Enhanced Lesson Design (AI-ELD) Process. The development of this process was my Research Project as part of the Fulbright DAI program, with support from faculty advisors from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and an interest group of Singaporean educators, known as the AIEd Planners.



The AI-ELD Process aims to enhance the lesson design process by integrating AI capabilities with educators' professional expertise. It includes a prompt framework, an assessment rubric for evaluating AI-generated lesson plans' quality, and a list of curated follow-up prompts to further refine the lesson plan using AI. Educators' expertise ensures that final lesson plans are pedagogically sound and customised to students' needs.


Educators who collaborated with me on this project expressed enthusiasm, describing it as 'fun, fast, and fulfilling.' They also recognized the significant benefits of integrating AI's suggestions into their teaching methods.


It is important to understand that AI cannot design a perfect lesson plan independently. However, AI does serve as a powerful tool for inspiration, acting as a 'smart friend' in the lesson design process.

Here's an example of how I used ChatGPT-4 to design a Math lesson.
