Project 17: AI-enhancement for Classroom as an Organisation Instructional Design: A prototype and Instructional Design Roadmap

AI-enhancement for Classroom as an Organisation Instructional Design: A prototype and Instructional Design Roadmap

This project evaluates alternative strategies for incorporating AI-driven tools into the classroom-as-organisation instructional design. AI can substantially elevate immersive learning environments. The project builds on an existing learning prototype supported by a learning management system (Moodle) and an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform. Along with developing the AI-enhanced prototype, a methodology roadmap will be proposed to assist educators in designing and implementing AI-enhanced immersive learning experiences based on classroom-as-organization learning design in online or blended settings. The prototype features a course in entrepreneurship and will follow a dialogic teaching approach, and the methodology roadmap could serve to design immersive learning experiences in other subject areas or disciplines. The project has applied for funding from the XJTLU Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship.
