Incorporating Emerging Learning Technologies in Instructional Delivery

Incorporating Emerging Learning Technologies in Instructional Delivery

As an instructional designer with a passion for empowering youth, I’m always looking for innovative ways to enhance learning experiences. Two technologies that I’m excited about are Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR). AI can significantly personalize learning by adjusting content based on the learner’s progress, helping them advance at their own pace. I see this as a great way to keep students engaged, as the content will be more tailored to their needs. On the other hand, AR provides immersive experiences that can bring subjects to life in ways traditional methods can’t. Imagine students exploring the solar system or historical events through AR simulations—these experiences can spark curiosity and deeper understanding. As I move forward in my career, I plan to integrate these technologies into my instructional designs, creating learning environments that are more dynamic, personalized, and accessible to students all around the world.
