Course: IDS6221 Sustainability Design Laboratory

For this graduate level sustainability course, Dr. TH Culhane and learning designer Alexandra Ward collaborated to address the challenge of preparing students to effectively utilize Generative AI tools for creative multimedia communication. In this course, students are encouraged to create impactful sustainability videos using ChatGPT as a scripting assistant, enabling them to effortlessly generate compelling narratives aligned with their vision and message. This approach focused on not just generating content but also fostering an understanding of optimizing and tailoring AI-generated scripts for unique video objectives. Later in the course, students also explore personalized avatars and voice narration, employing VoiceAI for real-time voice changes to bring their avatars to life, adding a layer of individuality to their multimedia projects. The integration of generative AI tools facilitated a dynamic and innovative approach to media-driven student projects.
