Instructional designers arrive at AI professional development wanting to know which tools to use. That question gets answered fairly quickly but what surfaces gets harder as we consider which parts of design work are still ours to do and who decides.
Drawing on my work in offering professional development for ID, this session reports what participants across organizations consistently raise once the tool talk ends. The pattern is not about capability but decision-making and professional judgment. This holds whether a designer sits in a centralized team or an academic unit. Participants will leave with a clearer picture of questions their own teams are likely already considering and a way to surface them before scope erodes unintentionally.
