Project Summary

This course was created to help adult learners build foundational knowledge of Artificial Intelligence and apply it across home, business, and education contexts. Designed to be completed independently, the course offers clear explanations, real-world examples, and practical simulations to prepare learners to confidently use AI in their daily and professional lives.

The design reflects my ability to translate complex concepts into engaging, accessible learning while using research-backed strategies for adult education.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Explain what Artificial Intelligence is and how it impacts their everyday life

• Identify safe and ethical uses of AI at home, in businesses, and in education

• Explore common AI tools (e.g., chatbots, AI writing assistants, and automation software)

• Evaluate opportunities for AI integration in their own personal or professional setting

• Complete an interactive scenario and reflection for each domain (home, business, education)

Instructional Design Features

• UDL-Aligned Design: Supports multiple learning preferences with visual, textual, and auditory elements

• Modular Structure: Divided into three focused modules: AI in the Home, AI in Business, and AI in Education

• Scenario-Based Learning: Learners walk through real-life decision-making scenarios with AI tools

• Guided Reflections: Each module ends with reflection prompts to connect learning to personal or professional goals

• Interactive Elements: Knowledge checks, video walkthroughs, AI tool demonstrations, and end-of-module challenges

Development Details

• Built in Articulate Rise 360 with a clean, responsive layout

• Custom icons, banners, and section headers created in Canva

• All AI tool examples were designed for no prior experience and chosen for accessibility (e.g., ChatGPT, Canva Magic Write, Otter.ai)

• Content is written at an 8th–10th grade reading level for accessibility, while maintaining academic depth

My Role

As the sole designer and developer, I was responsible for:

• Conducting research into emerging AI tools across three domains

• Writing scenario-based content grounded in real-world examples

• Designing each section to be approachable for non-technical users

• Creating supporting visuals and accessibility features

• Ensuring course alignment with adult learning theory, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and UDL principles

Why This Project Matters

AI is no longer a distant concept—it’s part of our daily lives. This course empowers learners to make informed, ethical, and effective decisions about AI use across multiple areas of life. Whether it’s streamlining home tasks, boosting productivity at work, or transforming education, this course gives people the knowledge and confidence to adapt and thrive.
