Building Artificial Intelligence Applications for Learning

Catalog description

This course prepares students to conceptualize, design, and critically evaluate AI-enhanced applications that address real challenges and opportunities in learning contexts. The course centers on understanding learning processes from the perspective of diverse stakeholders and applying a learner-centered, human-AI design process to build supporting solutions. Students investigate how AI—particularly large language models and multimodal systems—can augment teachers, learners, and other educational actors by providing feedback, scaffolding, analytics, or new forms of interaction. Through iterative design, ethical reflection, and evidence-informed evaluation, students create and refine an AI-enhanced prototype that meaningfully supports learning or teaching practices.
