Description

Make It Click: AI-Generated Explainers That Engage and Teach

Students often struggle to grasp difficult concepts through static readings or recorded lectures alone. When learning is passive, misconceptions can persist, engagement can decline, and instructors have limited opportunities to provide immediate guidance outside of class. The challenge is finding ways to make complex ideas more interactive and accessible without creating hours of additional work.

In this 20-Minute Mentor, JJ Wallace shows you how to use AI to create interactive explainers that help students actively explore challenging course concepts. You’ll learn a practical, step-by-step process for identifying difficult topics, designing meaningful learning interactions, and using AI to build, test, and refine digital explainers that provide immediate feedback. Easily embedded into Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, or other LMS platforms, these interactive tools help students visualize concepts, correct misconceptions, and build deeper understanding through active learning.

After viewing this Magna 20-Minute Mentor, participants will be able to: 

  • Explain how AI-generated explainers can support active learning and student learning outcomes
  • Identify a challenging course concept that would benefit from an interactive explainer
  • Develop a focused explainer plan that connects a learning outcome with an appropriate student interaction
  • Use a reusable prompt framework to create and refine an AI-generated explainer
  • Assess an explainer for accuracy, clarity, usability, accessibility, transparency, and pedagogical effectiveness
  • Demonstrate appropriate practices for deploying, evaluating, and maintaining an AI-generated explainer
