Moving from Static to Dynamic: Creating Interactive Course Content with AI

Take a static course document — a PDF reading, a worksheet, a lecture handout — and use AI to turn it into something interactive: choose-your-own-path scenarios, self-checking practice, scaffolded assignment sequences that drop into Canvas. The session explores several techniques side by side so you can choose the right one for the content at hand: vibe coding for HTML-based interactives that drop into Canvas, NotebookLM for queryable knowledge bases built from your readings, and direct AI-generated activities you assemble inside Canvas itself. Because redesigning an assignment always raises the policy question, we'll also work through what AI use you'll permit and what evidence of process you'll ask students for. The 30-minute work session is for converting one of your own documents.
