RQ2A · Adapting to Different Learning Environments

The course adapted to different instructional contexts by offering a flexible structure, customizable examples, and varied delivery options that met the needs of diverse learners.

3.3.1 Flexible Structure

Each module was designed as an independent "building block" with clear learning objectives and standalone activities. In a small classroom setting, such as with creative technology and design majors, I could provide hands-on workshops, expand into live demos and group critiques. When taught virtually, slide decks accompanied live GenAI tool demonstrations, keeping the same learning objectives across all different formats.

3.3.2 Customizable Examples

To connect with different student cohorts, example projects changed to match learners' diverse backgrounds. For an art-focused cohort, assignments emphasized GenAI multimedia skills. For mechanical, electrical, or biomedical engineering students, projects shifted towards GenAI CAD tools and code-based skills and assignments. In interdisciplinary offerings, examples combined design and engineering perspectives, such as vibe coding for creating and building mobile applications that also met aesthetic outcomes.

3.3.3 Varied Delivery Modes

• In-person workshops alongside live GenAI demonstrations.
• Virtual formats use recorded Zoom meetings, discussion forums, and peer reviews.
