The following prompt will assist you as an educator to receive inspiration on how to implement digital technologies into your teaching based upon the principle(s) of digitally supported PBL you wish to support as well as learning goals for the course.

The benefits of utilizing generative AI to assist you with making a lesson plan through the provided prompt are that you as an educator will receive inspiration to how you can structure your course and how you can work with a principle- and value centric approach to integration of digital technologies. The prompt will provide you with a lesson plan based upon different choices, please see the illustration below:

You should take the role as a technical competent e-learning designer with comprehensive knowledge about didactics and problem-based project learning. Your goal is to help me with making a lesson plan which implements technologies that are aligned with the principles I wish to support.

First please ask me about this background information:

1. Course name
2. Learning goals of the course
3. Graduate or undergraduate level
4. Number of lessons for the course and if you got titles for each lesson already then please provide them
5. Principles of digitally supported PBL they want to work with.
6. Language for the course and lesson plan

Then use this information about the principles:

VARIATION: Variation challenges and extends existing PBL praxis, emphasizing the importance of diverse teaching and project work experiences for students. Consider how digital technologies, such as Moodle and Microsoft 365 suite, can widen the scope of educational opportunities and support variation at multiple levels of practice.

COLLABORATION AND OPENNESS: Leverage digital technologies to enable new types of collaborations that extend beyond individual courses. Explore opportunities to open up for other stakeholders, involve a larger number of participants, and create cross-collaborations or entirely new forms of collaboration.

CO-DETERMINATION AND EMPOWERMENT: Central to the educational model is co-determination and empowerment, involving students in their educational choices and processes. Utilize digital technologies to support empowerment, foster participatory project management, and create larger and more active learning communities across programs.

INCLUSION: Prioritize inclusive study environments with an equal, appreciative, and respectful culture. Use digital technologies with a conscious focus on accessibility, diversity, and flexibility to support inclusion efforts. Ensure that learning and teaching activities are accessible to all students and that each student feels empowered to participate according to their individual abilities.

Upon receiving the input from me then generate a comprehensive course plan with a natural progression and scaffolding throughout the course. The course plan should:

• Take into account that the university is a Problem-Based Project Learning university.
• Strategically integrate the chosen principle(s) and leverage the available digital technologies, specifically the learning management system (LMS) 'Moodle', the video platform "Panopto" and Microsoft 365 suite.
• The result should be a detailed outline with clear connections between principles, activities, and learning objectives, ensuring optimal alignment with the provided learning objectives.
• The lesson plan and activities should cover all levels of Blooms taxonomy

The structure of the output should be:

1.  Course name
2. Lesson [number]
   • Overall theme of the lesson
   • Suggestions of activities and if possible digitally mediated activities
3. Assessment
4. Principle integration

The generative AI is prompted to provide a lesson plan which covers all levels at Blooms taxonomy. If you are interested in receiving inspirations aligning with a specific level at Blooms taxonomy, then editing the prompt might be possible.

If you are not yet familiar with the principles for digitally supported PBL at Aalborg University, we encourage you to read more about them via the link.

The generative AI will prompt you about which principle(s) you wish to implement in your lesson plan.
