ATD Research will be discussing the data and findings of their latest research study, AI in Instructional Design: Transforming Workflows and Content Creation

In this webinar we will focus on how instructional designers use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for day-to-day tasks, content creation, and the development of multimedia assets. We'll explore the types of AI tools instructional designers use, as well as how those tools affect course quality and the time it takes to create them.

Key findings:

  • 80% of instructional desigers use AI tools
  • 65% began using AI tools within the last year
  • 96% are concerned about copyright and intellectual property rights of AI-generated content
  • 43% always or often use AI tools to develop training materials
  • 54% always or often use AI tools to develop voiceovers and narration

Primary Capability Covered: Technology Application

Participation in this event, either live or recorded, can be reported for one (1) professional development point toward initial certification or recertification requirements for the APTD or CPTD credential.
