I am excited to introduce this AI Learning Experience Designer tool.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Input your details: What are you teaching and what grade level?
2. Select an experience type
Design Thinking ??
- Students learn through creative problem-solving processes
- Emphasises empathy, ideation, prototyping, and testing
- Example: Students design a better school lunch system by interviewing peers, brainstorming solutions, and testing improvements
Project Based Learning ??
- Long-term investigations of real-world topics
- Students create tangible final products or presentations
- Example: A semester-long project studying local water quality and presenting findings to city council
Problem-Based Learning ??
- Centers on complex, authentic challenges without predetermined solutions
- Students develop critical thinking through practical problem-solving
- Example: How can we reduce food waste in our school cafeteria?
Game-Based Learning ??
- Uses games (digital or traditional) to teach concepts
- Incorporates elements like points, challenges, and rewards
- Example: Using Minecraft Education to learn about historical architecture
Esports ??
- Structured competitive gaming with educational objectives
- Develops teamwork, strategic thinking, and digital literacy
- Example: School-sponsored League of Legends teams that incorporate math and statistics
Phenomenon-Based Learning ??
- Starts with observing real-world phenomena
- Cross-disciplinary exploration of natural events or processes
- Example: Studying climate change through science, economics, and social impacts
Play-Based Learning ??
- Child-directed, naturally motivated exploration
- Especially effective for early childhood education
- Example: Using building blocks to learn basic physics and spatial reasoning
Scenario Based Learning ??
- Immerses students in realistic situations or role-play
- Develops decision-making and practical skills
- Example: Medical students working through patient case studies
Nature Based Learning ??
- Takes education outdoors
- Connects curriculum to the natural environment
- Example: Conducting math lessons through measuring trees and calculating growth rates
3. Add more details about the experience:
Duration of the unit
Level of challenge
Select up to 3 key skills (custom skills accepted)
4. Guide the AI for a higher focus
5. Click 'Generate Learning Experience' when done.
6. This will generate a learning experience prompt.
7. Copy the prompt.
8. You can use this with your preferred LLM - I recommend Claude. I've added the sentence 'Make it related to the school garden that needs to be fixed' to demonstrate how easily prompts can be adapted to local challenges.
Suddenly, a new project is born:
Operation Garden Revival
Welcome to "Operation Garden Revival" - where middle school students transform into real-world Environmental Consultants on a mission to breathe new life into their forgotten school garden!
The adventure kicks off with students becoming "Garden CSI Investigators," armed with scientific tools and keen observation skills. They'll uncover the garden's hidden stories, interview key stakeholders like a true sustainability journalist, and craft compelling "How Might We" challenges that could revolutionize their school's green space.
Students dive into action as part of elite Garden Revival Teams, each taking on professional roles that mirror real environmental careers: Environmental Scientists who analyzse soil and ecosystem health, Landscape Architects who sketch innovative garden designs, Sustainability Coordinators who ensure eco-friendly practices, Community Outreach Managers who build local partnerships, and Project Directors who keep the mission on track.
These young professionals conduct groundbreaking research, collaborate with actual gardening experts, and unleash their creativity in rapid-fire innovation sessions. They'll get their hands dirty testing soil pH like real scientists, track water usage patterns like environmental analysts, and discover the fascinating world of beneficial insects like field researchers.
The grand finale sees our young environmental professionals pitching their vision for a transformed garden space - complete with professional-grade 3D models, detailed sustainability impact reports, and real budgets that could convince any stakeholder.
They'll become master storytellers, presenting their findings through compelling data visualisations, photo documentation, and persuasive presentations worthy of a TED talk. The best part? Their solutions don't just live in presentations - they become reality as teams implement their plans, monitor their success, and potentially expand into exciting directions like farm-to-table programs or community sustainability workshops.
Want to know how to implement project-based learning and active learning experiences in your school? I work on a project called PBL Future Labs with Thom Markham.
We are seeking schools and educational institutions for bespoke coaching.
