He emphasizes that although those who use AI as a co-pilot, combining it with their own brand, voice, and expertise, will stand out and deliver higher-quality courses, those who rely solely on AI will suffer. He highlights that the value of information diminishes as it gets simpler to provide, and the true premium moves to human components like coaching, community, accountability, and change. AI will also make it possible for more flexible course delivery, intelligent student assistance, and customized learning experiences. AI may serve as a tutor by assisting students, bridging knowledge gaps, and dynamically modifying curriculum. Additionally, operational and student support systems will become more sophisticated, with AI assistants proactively assisting students, providing real-time answers to inquiries, and even stepping in when students are ready to lose interest. It will be crucial for creators to post public material and maintain visibility as marketing and discovery grow more competitive and move toward AI-driven platforms. Additionally, Chris promotes openness and human supervision while cautioning about ethical issues, including authenticity, false information, and data privacy. Ultimately, his main point is that creating a comprehensive, AI-augmented education company with a human connection at its core is more important for success in the AI future than simply selling courses. 2025 WordPress LMS Buyer’s Guide Exclusive Download!

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of LMS Cast. My name’s Chris, and today we’re gonna do a solo episode. We’re gonna talk about AI and course creation, but it’s gonna be a little different than probably what you’ve been thinking already or what you’re already seeing happening. We’re gonna look into the future and look at 10 ways. AI is gonna be different in the life of the course creator. What’s gonna change in the course creation economy because of ai, things are already changing. Things are already happening now, but we’re gonna look a little further out into the future. And the reason this is important is when you think about. How AI is changing online education. It opens up opportunities for you. It also creates risks for you. So the more that we can see what’s next and get a feel for what’s coming, the better we can prepare to take advantage of the opportunities and remove the risks. Where are we at today? AI is already here. It’s also not something that is equally. Used or distributed. There’s early adopters, certain types of people who are leveraging and using AI a lot more than others. Some may not even be using it at all as course creators, but most techie folks are in some ways experience experimenting, playing with ai, using it at work. So in terms of course creation, we’re already seeing course creators. Use AI to help create outlines, to create lesson drafts or talking points for slides, or even slides themselves. Create quiz questions from a body of material to do support in some ways with chatbots. We’re using AI and video editing. This podcast is actually edited in a tool called DE Script, which has AI video editing we’ve been using for a long time.
