Our Presentation Slides, with speaker notes

Reflection

Post a reflection to your portfolio about your experience during the Deliver module. You may consider the design of the Gallery Walk in the context of course learning outcomes. Perhaps you want to reflect on what you learned from audience members and how that will inform your Capstone. Or you may consider the team based approach (if applicable) to presenting a collaborative project.  

My experience of the gallery walk was a good one! Katie and I have been working on the AI in Learning Design project this semester, and we’ve done pretty much everything in tandem. We met at the same time each week, have made decisions together, have designed and collected data together. So it was natural that we prepared for the presentation together. We wrote the content and created the slides. She pulled in the data and I designed the look of the presentation.

Our experience was that we learned quickly HOW to talk about our work. We started with the WHY of this project -everyone liked the ‘you won’t lose your job to ai but you will to someone who knows how to use ai’ quote. From there we explained our process and then explored some of the answers with the audience. We learned a lot from the interactions with the audience. Some people said that the responses were interesting because they weren’t future-facing, but grounded in the current experience. Some were surprised by the level of comfort people reported with AI, because they themselves were very unsure about it. We also had the opposite reaction: one audience member spoke about themself as “very pro-AI,” and fascinated by people who don’t want to see it become part of LD work. Some wanted to know more about the least useful potential applications of AI in LD work, as given by our survey (turns out that’s mostly Content Research, people do not think it will be useful in that regard). We also had several practicing learning designers as audience members who took our survey there and then, and we appreciate their responses.

All the responses and input we got was relevant. We used this experience to inform our next steps of research and creating the guide. Based on the responses we got, we’re going to seek out case studies, address an audience that is already comfortable with AI, focus on successful applications of AI and let the readers decide what their course of action will be, and not recommend anything to do with content research or the Ethics of AI use.

Our final project will be posted on a site designed on Microsoft Sway.
