Learn how to use AI for accelerated design and development of transformational instruction based on Merrill's First Principles of Instruction.

Curious how to engineer prompts that create effective, efficient, and engaging instruction?  This session is for you! 

How effective are Merrill's First Principles?  Evidence shows that students who chose to engage with web pages designed with First Principles of Instruction were between three and five times more likely to pass a Certification Test.
