AI in EdTech: What's Actually Working vs. What's Hype

After 90 days of testing AI tools in learning technology, here's my honest assessment:

Working well:

  • Content outlining and ideation

  • Accessibility improvements (alt text, transcripts)

  • Personalized learning path suggestions

  • Administrative task automation

Still overhyped:

  • Full course generation (quality is inconsistent)

  • Replacing instructional designers (not even close)

  • Assessment creation (requires heavy human oversight)

The sweet spot? AI as your co-pilot, not your autopilot.

It amplifies good instructional design. It doesn't replace it.

What AI tools are you actually using in your L&D work?
