Explore AI is a one-of-a-kind intermediate course developed specifically for instructional designers and experienced trainers designing learning within the VET sector.
Unlike general AI courses, it is contextualised for VET and designed to work across ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and Claude. Participants are not taught isolated prompting techniques. They are shown how to integrate AI into practical instructional design workflows that support faster, more consistent and more scalable learning development.
The course brings together AI-adapted workflows, research-based instructional design practices, practical resources, production strategies and more than 100 prompts. It is designed for both small and large RTOs seeking to improve how they plan, design and produce learning at scale.
Participants will explore how to use AI across the full development process, from strategy and instructional design through to prompt systems, production workflows and interactive learning activities. Along the way, they will gain practical tips, techniques and reusable tools they can immediately apply to their own projects.
Written by an instructional designer for instructional designers, the course combines deep instructional design expertise with practical AI experience in the VET context.

Here is the course outline:
Introduction to AI-supported instructional designExplore how AI is changing instructional design and where tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Claude can support learning development. Examine their capabilities, limitations and appropriate role within VET. |
Developing an AI strategyIdentify where AI can add the greatest value to learning design and production. Consider priorities, use cases, governance, risk, privacy and the capabilities required for sustainable adoption. |
Instructional design foundationsApply research-based instructional design principles to AI-supported development. Strengthen learner analysis, learning outcomes, sequencing, activities, feedback and assessment alignment. |
Prompt design and systemsMove beyond one-off prompts and build reusable prompt systems. Learn how to define context, audience, constraints, source material, output requirements and quality expectations. |
Building an AI-supported production pipelineCreate a structured workflow for using AI across planning, drafting, development, review and production. Establish templates, responsibilities, review points and quality controls. |
Developing interactive HTML activitiesUse AI to design, generate and refine interactive HTML learning activities. Focus on educational purpose, usability, accessibility, feedback, testing and platform deployment. |
