Build Your Own AI Instructor
Design, build and test a working AI instructor for your own content in one hands-on half-day online workshop. No coding, no technical background, just a Gen AI account and a real piece of learning to work on.
Stop talking about AI and build with it
L&D teams are under real pressure to turn static online training into dynamic, personalised instruction, without the time and technical complexity that usually comes with it. An AI instructor is one practical answer: a guided, conversational tutor built on ChatGPT or Gemini that teaches, questions and gives feedback on a specific piece of your content. In this half-day online workshop you learn what AI instructors are and how they differ from chatbots, work through the design decisions that make them effective and safe, then build and test your own prototype with expert facilitators Vince and Sarah Mateljan of GenLearn.
Is this course for you?
Instructional and eLearning designers
You want to add interactive, learner-facing AI activities to self-paced and blended programs.
Trainers and facilitators
You want a practice partner or tutor your learners can use between sessions, built on your own material.
L&D professionals ready to build
You have experimented with Gen AI and want to move from talking about it to making something you can actually use.
Come with a paid account for ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot already set up (any plan tier, including the lowest) and a piece of your own content you would like to turn into an AI instructor.
What you will walk away with
- A clear understanding of what an AI instructor is and where it fits in a blended or self-paced learning strategy
- A structured instructor persona and prompt framework for a real piece of your own content
- A working AI instructor prototype, built and tested in ChatGPT or Gemini during the session
- Techniques to keep AI-generated responses accurate, on track and pedagogically sound
- Ways to test and improve your AI instructor so it is safe, secure and focused on the topic
- A reusable prompt template you can adapt for future AI instructors
What the course covers
The session closes with the key takeaways to bring back to your organisation, including your prototype and prompt template.
