Welcome to the AI Learners Lounge podcast, where AI meets Learning and Development. In this episode, we explore the concept of AI as a learner and its integration into the modern learning experience.
As Learning and Development professionals, we understand the importance of treating AI as a learner. Just like with human learners, we need to identify its needs and test its knowledge and understanding. By doing so, we can ensure that AI is equipped with the necessary information to provide accurate and valuable insights.
To test AI’s knowledge, we can use tools like ChatGPT. We can provide prompts and assess its responses to identify any knowledge gaps. If AI lacks understanding in certain areas, we can consider using plugins or additional training to enhance its knowledge.
As instructional designers, we play a crucial role in training AI. We need to select the appropriate models and frameworks and ensure that AI understands how to apply them. By building a model and theory library, we can provide AI with the necessary guidance and examples to align with our organizational needs.
Teaching AI as a learner also requires us to share our expertise and context. We need to convey not only the what but also the how of our training. By providing information about the learning environment, the context of application, and the desired outcomes, we can help AI design effective learning experiences.
Our expertise extends to how we apply different models. For example, if we use Keller’s ARCS model, we need to consider the specific elements that are most important in a given learning situation. By understanding our learners and sharing that information, we can ensure that AI designs learning experiences that are tailored to their needs.
In conclusion, treating AI as a learner is essential for integrating it into the modern learning experience. By testing its knowledge, providing guidance, and sharing our expertise, we can collaborate effectively with AI to create valuable and impactful learning experiences.
Thank you for joining us in this episode of the AI Learners Lounge podcast. Stay tuned for our next episode!
