Didask's Pedagogical AI enables you to convert raw content—such as text or audio recordings—into interactive e-learning modules that cater to your learners' cognitive needs.
💡 Why use it? When should you use it?
Didask's Pedagogical AI serves as a powerful content creation assistant, streamlining several instructional design steps from your source material. It automates many tasks, freeing up your time to focus on high-value activities, such as sharing your expertise, critically evaluating content, and refining it.
Key Features:
🔍 Content audit ➡️ The AI automatically detects key concepts and relevant errors, hierarchizes and segments the information, and transforms it into a comprehensive learning experience. It filters out unnecessary content, retaining only the essentials.
.
🗺️ Instructional design ➡️ The AI sequences the learning experience to facilitate skill development. It arranges the learning units (granules) based on the selected cognitive objectives, leading to meaningful changes in your learners:
Discovering new concepts: Begins with explicit instruction, possibly an example, followed by a test to ensure comprehension.
Deconstructing concepts: Starts with exercises to challenge preconceived ideas, allowing learners to adjust their understanding.
Applying concepts: Provides practical scenarios and application exercises.
Evaluating concepts: Offers a variety of assessment exercises.
✍️ Content creation ➡️ The AI generates all learning activities in alignment with research-based recommendations, enhancing both learning outcomes and engagement. It presents these activities in formats that best meet your learning objectives:
Clear, organized, and illustrated information.
Scenario-based or application exercises.
Memory recall flashcards.
🎨Graphic design ➡️ The AI also designs an initial version of the content, suggesting visuals to enhance understanding and retention.
🛠 How does it work?
Generating a module with Didask's Pedagogical AI is simple:
Start a project: Click on "Create a Project" if you haven’t already done so.
Add a module: Select the e-learning module creation option and choose the automatic generation mode.
Input raw content: Copy the raw text from your existing training resources (e.g., PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or web article) or record audio explaining your content as clearly as possible. Note: your content should correspond to about 10-15 minutes of e-learning:
For slide presentations: ➡️Copy text from a few slides at a time.
For PDFs: ➡️Download slides as (.txt) files, then copy a few pages at a time.
For audio files: ➡️Click on the voice recorder and dictate what you want the AI to generate.
For videos: ➡️Use transcription software to convert your video content into text.
Set the learning objective: Select the primary learning objective for your module based on the cognitive focus (discover, deconstruct, apply, or evaluate concepts).
Specify granules: Indicate how many learning units (granules) to generate (5-10 per module is ideal).
Contextualize: You can add optional instructions regarding the tone and context of the module:
Tone: ➡️ "I want to use informal language with my learners."
Vocabulary: ➡️ "I’d like to use simple and direct language."
Target Audience: ➡️ "My learners are higher education students" or "My learners are employees at a large corporation."
Instructional Progression: ➡️ "This is the first module in a series and should be accessible to beginners" or "This module comes later in the series and should be more advanced."
Generate content: Click on "Generate" and wait 2-3 minutes for the AI to create your content. ➡️ You’ll see the requested number of granules appear, fully pre-filled.
Review and edit: Save the AI-generated granules to your project for preview and editing as needed.
Put on your instructional design hat and evaluate the AI’s suggestions to ensure they meet your standards. ➡️ Make minor adjustments directly within the module, or rerun the process for new, more tailored suggestions.
🤔 Not sure what content to insert? Want to maximize AI output? Follow this guide!
Our AI is equipped to process all your content, identifying key concepts and proposing learning objectives. Based on this, it automatically generates customized learning activities.
However, the output can be even more relevant if you first synthesize and clarify what should be central to your training. To aid in this, our team has developed a simple template to ensure optimal results:
Target audience: Describe the intended learners.
Module competency: Define the micro-competency targeted by the module.
Learning objectives: Specify what learners should be able to do by the end of the module.
Key content: List the concepts, details, and procedures learners need to understand or apply.
Common errors: Identify mistakes that learners should avoid.
Key concept: Summarize the most important takeaway of the module.
🔍 Case study
🧰 Source content:
This module aims to develop the competency "Embodies Didask's educational vision daily."
To achieve this, instructional designers must identify challenges related to their role and approach to promoting Didask's vision.
They need to know that:
A Didask instructional designer embodies the e-learning vision within client projects while being attuned to client needs.
A Didask instructional designer values cognitive science research in enhancing e-learning efficiency.
Didask’s educational team contributes to making high-quality online training more accessible by grounding it in scientific literature.
Instructional designers should avoid:
Assuming that Didask's educational vision is understood by all clients.
Ignoring client needs and preferences regarding their training projects.
Believing that cognitive science cannot impact the e-learning field.
The key concept of this module is that Didask’s educational vision bridges efficiency and pedagogy.
💫 AI-assisted content granularization
🧚Our final recommendations:
Continuous Improvement: ➡️ Didask’s Pedagogical AI is constantly evolving, which means there may still be errors or inaccuracies. Enhance generated modules by adding granules with videos, image analyses, etc. There are still many format possibilities to explore!
Inspiration Source: ➡️ Use the AI as a brainstorming tool to generate ideas for building high-quality learning experiences. It can be particularly helpful in creating scenarios—impactful but sometimes challenging to devise.
Save Time: ➡️ The AI helps you save valuable time by producing pedagogically effective content, though additional instructional design work is recommended to ensure a comprehensive and quality learning experience.
Generate Multiple Suggestions: ➡️ Always generate more suggestions than you need and keep the best ones, optimizing both content and instructional strategies. Since AI suggestions are creative and variable, having several options allows you to choose the best fit.
