Meet ALDA: AI Learning Design in Action

This demonstration introduces ALDA, the AI Learning Design Assistant, a USask-built tool designed to support course design and development. The session will explore how ALDA can act as a thinking partner in drafting and refining course components such as learning outcomes, learning activities, assessments, rubrics, and inclusive design strategies. We will walk through a range of practical uses and examine how ALDA fits within the instructional design space.
