Abstract
This work-in-progress study examines a graduate-level instructional design course focused on ethical AI integration, addressing critical gaps in AI education through practical application. Utilizing a backwards design approach, the online course integrated hands-on AI tools practice with ethical considerations in instructional design. Data collection will begin in March 2025. Initial student reflections suggest a potential transformation from basic AI tool usage to sophisticated prompt engineering and the ability to leverage a variety of generative AI tools in the instructional design process. This research aims to contribute practical insights for developing AI-integrated instructional design curricula and preparing future instructional designers for ethical AI implementation.
