Announcing the e-Literate AI Design/Build Cohort
e-Literate is excited to unveil the AI Learning Design Assistant (ALDA) Design/Build Workshop series, a pioneering initiative that brings together a diverse group of colleges and universities to collaboratively tackle the pressing challenges of learning design. This initiative extends beyond standard prompt engineering techniques, inviting participants to participate in co-designing a functioning AI application that we will build and refine throughout the series. It offers participants a unique opportunity to directly influence the development of solutions that will reshape the landscape of educational technology.
