As an ESL teacher and PD trainer with a background in Learning Design, I've always sought to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Having recently completed an Elearning Masters and having read about AI, I approached the AI course with some theoretical foundation. However, this course has added layers to that foundation by offering practical insights and real-world applications of AI in course building and teaching. The examples provided were enlightening, showcasing the benefits and potential challenges of integrating AI into our learning environments.
