AI for Online Courses Using the ADDIE Model and Bloom’s Taxonomy

Bloom’s taxonomy and ADDIE model are used in education but their orientation is different. Bloom’s taxonomy emphasizes cognitive skills and learning objectives whereas the ADDIE model is an instructional design framework applied to the development of a course. Both models can work complementary. Bloom’s taxonomy is used for curriculum development, creating learning objectives, and evaluating the complexity of cognitive skills, whereas the ADDIE model is a step-by-step process for creating learning programs and evaluating educational processes using a cyclical process, for improvement. Bloom’s taxonomy facilitates the process of the ADDIE model, to ensure that the learning experiences are by the desired cognitive learning outcomes. This study aims to describe how AI tools can support the creation of an online course using Bloom’s taxonomy and the ADDIE model. This is an ongoing study and a self-selected group of University students was participating in the selection of the AI tools. According to the preliminary results, for the development of the online course, using the ADDIE model, an LMS including AI, was used, especially the “EdApp” application. This application includes a personalized learning environment, and the educational experiences of students could be tested using “Quizzes” in the Kahoot tool. At the stage of Understanding, under Bloom’s theory, the educational game “classcraft” can develop automated assessment tools and at the stage of Analysis and Synthesis, the AI tools used for written documents, were “Grammar checkers”, helping learners to use the language effectively. Additionally, at the stage of Synthesis, “Chatgpt” was used to provide rich online learning environments. In conclusion, AI is effectively used in many educational settings, providing interactive learning material, tailored to learners' needs, and supporting the creation of online courses.
