Four, DIY, custom game pieces featuring illustrated characters mounted on colored stands (green, yellow, and red) are arranged on a surface. Two white dice with black dots are placed in front of the pieces. In the upper-right corner, the text “AECT 25 LAS VEGAS” appears in colorful letters.

Yes, we turned ourselves into game pieces. Curious how that plays into one of our #AECT25 sessions?

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

Thank you!

Would you please add me?

If you're a native speaker of English, you might not have experienced any language barriers in your scientific career, but their negative impacts on early-career scientists nonfluent in English are big, as summarized in the figure below created by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social and colleagues. (1/10)

Crowdsourcing AI Institutional Policies On creating another repository...

At it again, this time, I'm hoping to #crowdsource #HigherEd policies & guidance on #GenAI at the institutional level. If your institution has a policy for faculty, students, and/or staff, please feel free to share it!

4. Challenges:
Issues w/ accuracy, bias, and maintaining an authentic voice. ​Concerns about data breaches and ethical handling of sensitive information. ​Worries about academic integrity, copyright, and the potential for plagiarism. ​Acceptance varies. ​
[Summarized by Adobe Reader AI Assistant]

3. Benefits:
GenAI helps overcome creative blocks and generate ideas. ​Handles low-stake tasks, reducing time spent on writing and creating content. Acts as a virtual assistant, optimizing workflows and supporting unstructured problem-solving. ​Enhances teamwork and communication w/ SMEs. ​

2. Perceived Usefulness: GenAI tools valuable for tasks in the analysis, design, and development phases of instructional design, such as writing performance objectives, selecting instructional content, and creating design documents. ​Less utility in the implementation and evaluation phases. ​

Findings:
1. Familiarity and Usage: IDs are familiar with various GenAI tools, with ChatGPT being the most frequently used. ​

Title and abstract page of the paper. Exploring instructional designers' utilization and perspectives on generative AI tools: A mixed methods study. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has caused significant disruptions on a global scale in various workplace settings, including the field of instructional design (ID). Given the paucity of research investigating the impact of GenAI on ID work, we conducted a mixed methods study to understand instructional designers (IDs)’ perceptions and experiences of utilizing GenAI across a spectrum of ID tasks. A total of 70 IDs completed an online survey, and 13 of them participated in the semi-structured interviews. The survey results indicated IDs’ familiarity with and perceived usability of GenAI tools in performing various ID responsibilities in their specific contexts. Qualitative findings further explained that IDs often utilized GenAI tools in (1) brainstorming ideas, (2) handling low-stake tasks, (3) streamlining design process, and (4) enhancing collaborations. Participants also expressed their concerns and challenges while using GenAI in ID, including (1) quality concerns, (2) data security and privacy concerns, (3) concerns over authorship, ownership and plagiarism, amongst others. Implications and recommendations are also discussed to inform future ID practices and research.
