Enhancing Online Learning with AI: ADDIE Model & Bloom Taxonomy

AI FOR ONLINE COURSES USING THE ADDIE MODEL AND BLOOM TAXONOMY Jenny Pange University of Ioannina Greece jpagge@uoi.gr

The application of ICT tools in education offers significant benefits, -particularly for enhancing online learning. Introduction The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process has changed the whole process of teaching and learning.

AI algorithms possess the capacity to accumulate extensive data and examine the unique learning patterns, preferences and strengths of individuals. This enables online learning platforms to deliver personalised educational experiences. Through adaptive learning, AI can identify knowledge gaps, tailor content to meet individual needs and provide targeted feedback, leading to more effective and engaging learning outcomes .

Effective online learning uses effective learning strategies, motivates students, and includes many ICT tools. Effective Strategies for Successful Online Learning Successful online learning depends on students' different learning styles, experiences, and dedication to the study material.

The need for accurate use of ICT tools is apparent in a globalized society. The Evolving Landscape of Online Education Online education focuses on competencies and skills, and ICTs help students better understand the course material. Online courses need the application of specific educational models. The choice of the educational model is important. Chatbots as AI applications uphold human-computer interaction offering answers to specific questions and producing replies based on a large amount of training data.

ADDIE model (Analysis, Design Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and Bloom s taxonomy are widely used in educational settings for course development and forming learning objectives. ADDIE Model and Bloom s Taxonomy in Online Learning While the ADDIE model and Bloom's taxonomy are commonly used in online learning environments, there are few studies that integrate AI into the development of online learning programs.

The ADDIE model has a flexible structure and can be applied easily in e-learning environments. The Application of the ADDIE Model in Training Programs It is used for the development of training programs. ADDIE model can also be applied effectively in mobile learning.

Integrating AI Tools in Blooms Taxonomy for Online Learning 1 2 3 Bloom's taxonomy has different stages of developing a course and includes cognitive and emotional learning outcomes. AI tools can be integrated at nearly every stage of Bloom's six levels of classification, from remembering and understanding to applying, evaluating, and creating. In Bloom s taxonomy AI and, especially, ChatGPT and Grammarly checker can help learners prepare their presentations (at the synthesis stage), whereas chatbots can support learners at the application stage.

AI chatbots, in online testing can help students better understand the test questions. Enhancing Online Testing with AI and Chatbots Chatbots provide personalized learning and facilitate the communication between teachers and students.

AI + Blooms taxonomy Digital games can be used in the evaluation stage of Bloom s taxonomy promoting self-regulated learning, teacher-to-student student-to-student student-to-technology interaction. Digital games include personalized learning environments marketplace quests, learning assignments, resources, tests, blogs, and discussions, as well as useful and entertaining features. Using Digital Games in the Evaluation Stage of Bloom s Taxonomy

Aim of the Study This study aims to present how we can create online learning material including ICT tools and AI tools for teaching and learning.

Materials & Methods The Lab of New Technologies and Distance Learning of the University of Ioannina (Greece) designed an online course on ICT for educators according to the ADDIE model and included Bloom s taxonomy. AI tools were included in the online application or suggested to students to use them. The free online application EdApps https://admin.edapp.com/login was used. https://admin.edapp.com/login

Materials & Methods 1 2 3 The course material consisted of information on ICT tools for educational purposes. There was a set of questions for the evaluation of the knowledge of the learners at the end of the course. A random SAMPLE of 20 undergraduate students were interviewed on how this process influenced their learning process using AI.

ADDIE model In the development stage, the knowledge and the skills of the undergraduate students were considered and added in using ChatGPT. In the design stage, the online course allows students to use Grammarly to create their documents on ICT use. Results & Discussion In the implementation stage and the evaluation stage of the ADDIE model, students suggested the possibility of adding chatbots for the support of learners. In the development stage, students used ChatGPT to create content and specific examples of ICT use in education. In the evaluation stage considering Bloom s taxonomy, students could use open-ended questions and ChatGPT.

The chapters of this course appear in https://admin.edapp.com/course/657621631917 7294f06126db/. All chapters according to students' comments, were well-structured and very informative. Students were able to use ChatGPT and Grammarly to create documents and found the tests using digital games useful and entertaining. Almost all chapters of this online course used AI tools either for collecting information using the ChatGPT or making corrections in the documents using the online Grammarly checker. Course Content

It is an enjoyable and challenging learning method. Wording is perfect using ChatGPT ChatGPT and Grammarly checker are very helpful in writing documents, we can write documents without the help of other students Wording is difficult, I can not write down my reply in English and I cannot use easily the Grammarly Using EdApp I tried every time alone to find out the right word to use before I reply to questions I wrote and erased my replies many times. I had to be careful before I reply to a question because ChatGPT was offering a lot of information, and I did not know what to select Student s Feedback

Developing online courses with AI tools makes content more promising by meeting diverse learning needs, enabling content review, and supporting self-regulation learning. The ADDIE model and Bloom s taxonomy enhance online learning and can make use of AI tools successfully. Conclusions Students using AI tools like EdApp experienced active learning and increased confidence but less classroom cooperation. Universities can use AI for course development and understanding student abilities, although AI can't replace educators!.
