AI as co-creator for learning content production

Presentation by Markus Tischner, FAU, Germany.

  • AI is a great source for inspiration and structuring “first content ideas”. And it helps with “optimizing media”. So AI helps to produce more content with a higher media quality in shorter time.
  • But: For the main creation process for learning content in higher education – in between “first ideas” and “media postproduction” – educators are still needed, because professional learning content needs to match learning goals and assessment requirements exactly.
  • Practical examples show, which tasks could be done way more efficient with AI helpers and at which points educators are absolutely necessary.
