Course overview
How to use AI to design research-backed highly interactive workshops
Most people think creating a workshop is extremely labor intensive, but actually technology and AI provide an abundance of support for the instructional design process.
Stop laboring for weeks over your deck and notes, and start leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate how you draft and finalize your learning programs and experiences.
The best way to show up fully present as a facilitator (and make your content stick) is to leverage more tools (especially tech) so that you can spend less time on creating your content and more time and attention engaging with your learners.
This course is for you if
01
You are a workshop facilitator who wants to have their workshop assets created in hours instead of weeks
02
You are Learning & Development leader who struggles to manage their regular workload while also being tasked to design a new training or pro
03
Are a professional coach who wants to learn a framework to translate your 1:1 programs into group learning experiences
Key Outcomes
Critique and formulate strategies to use AI ethically
ensuring respect for creative license in instructional design as you navigate the intersection of technology and human creativity and scholarship.
Create an enhanced workshop outline on a topic of your choice
Apply the techniques and best practices of ChatGPT. Coaches will transition 1:1 coaching frameworks to meet group facilitation formats.
Use AI supported research to enhance your content with present day research and findings
Analyze a variety of sources using Perplexity AI and select relevant references to integrate into a workshop ensuring you uphold credibility and relevance to meet your audience needs.
Evaluate the differences between AI-assisted and traditional deck designs
and construct a presentation using AI tools like Decktopus or Wonderslide ensuring visual engagement with beautiful design aesthetic. You will seamlessly translate a bulleted list of ideas into workshops without design hiccups or hours spent in Powerpoint.
Synthesize the elements of a workshop, including timings, slide numbers, and engagement exercises
to formulate a comprehensive 'Run of Show' document using ChatGPT. Ensure clarity in pacing, participant engagement and variety of engagement strategies so you can deliver high quality, interactive workshops every time.

incorporating all the techniques learned during the course, and critique fellow participants' designs using constructive feedback to enhance your craft while building a supportive network of learning and development professionals.
