Special: AI Meets Online Courses

Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators

In this special episode, Danny and Abe examine ChatGPT (and artificial intelligence broadly) as a free and simple tool for course creators. And as with most things free and simple, there’s the “for better or for worse” with this rapidly developing technology. Anyone creating or thinking about creating online courses needs to know the opportunities and pitfalls that are here and on the horizon.

In this episode Danny and Abe explore:

• What ChatGPT is and isn’t
• Danny’s bio as generated by ChatGPT — the good, the bad, and the ugly
• The impact of AI on the value of information-based courses
• The right way and wrong way to use this technology
• How AI is affecting higher education
• The benefits of these tools for idea generation
• And much more

“Another big advantage over a human, moderately competent assistant: You can only tell a human so many times, ‘You got it wrong, try again.’ ChatGPT will never be offended. So you can keep sending it back until you're happy with what you've got.”
– Danny Iny
