Prompt Engineering in Course Development: Wait, Confirm, Execute

This poster/presentation explores how faculty members in higher education approach course development alongside artificial intelligence (AI). The proposal introduces “Prompt: Wait, Confirm, Execute,” a structured model for AI-assisted course design that more intentionally and effectively guides faculty toward engaging with AI tools. By leveraging freely available or institutionally licensed AI tools, instructors can minimize design constraints, accelerate the development of new courses from scratch, and enhance existing learning materials for greater clarity, engagement, and accessibility. The model’s focus on prompt refinement and confirmation reduces wasted time and output revisions, maximizing productivity with minimal cost. The “Prompt: Wait, Confirm, Execute” model provides a practical, reflective framework for faculty to use AI tools efficiently and responsibly. It promotes deliberate interaction rather than automatic generation, helping educators stay in control of the creative process. This initiative informs institutional strategies for faculty development and digital literacy and responsibly integrates AI into teaching and learning.
