Watch a live build: an AI-generated learning game for adult learners from concept to Brightspace in real time, showing how instructors without coding backgrounds can create custom activities using conversational prompts and learning objectives. The process leverages gamification and microlearning to boost engagement across any course. Audience suggestions drive the demo. Leave ready to try it yourself; no coding experience required.Â
Note: This session aims for a live demonstration based on audience suggestions. If AI responsiveness is unstable, we'll examine a prepared example.
(Proposed for CIT 2026)
We need some suggestions for quick, interactive learning activities. They should be formative and can teach or reinforce concepts. They should NOT require custom images, maps, or visuals (we don't have those right now).

Test
Limited to what AI can generate; complex game mechanics off the table
Limited to what plain vanilla JS can handle; more complex game mechanics off the table
Requires Instructional Design expertise
Patience and Persistence; iterative process with lots of troubleshooting
Specificity in correction
Manual review needed
Formative assessment only; summative / grade book link needs an LTI (H5P)
