Spot the AI: Evaluating AI-Generated Classroom Content
Why This Learning Experience?
This instructor-guided professional learning experience is designed to help educators learn on their schedule while still receiving meaningful support. Participants complete practical activities, connect ideas to real classroom practice, and build confidence through application-focused learning.
Learning Experience Overview
Artificial intelligence can create lesson materials, explanations, assessments, communications, activities, and other educational content in seconds. However, polished AI-generated content is not necessarily accurate, appropriate, unbiased, accessible, or ready for students.
In this one-hour professional development course, educators become AI Content Detectives as they practice evaluating AI-generated classroom materials before using them with students. Participants learn to identify factual errors and unsupported claims, recognize potential bias and accessibility concerns, protect student privacy, evaluate instructional alignment, and determine when AI-generated content should be used, revised, verified, or rejected.
Throughout the course, participants apply the AISEE Framework, a practical five-part process for evaluating AI-generated educational content:
- A — Accuracy
- I — Instructional Fit
- S — Safety & Privacy
- E — Equity & Accessibility
- E — Educator Judgment
The course emphasizes a central principle:
AI can generate the draft. The educator makes the instructional decision.
