Using GenAI tools in planning

GenAI tools are pretty good at creating plans for teaching, either for a single session or for a whole series of sessions. This is because there are many plans available online so the LLMs have been able to learn what common teaching plan and syllabus (course plan) structures look like, and because they can quickly generate a lot of variations on a single theme. In addition, they have been trained on a wide variety of situations and so may be able to generate ideas for different classroom conditions and scenarios and so may come up with ideas that you wouldn't have thought of. For most of us, our course plans/syllabi are public information, so uploading them to a GenAI tool is not giving away any new information. So this may be an acceptable application of GenAI tools for many people. However, we are not recommending, rejecting, or endorsing these approaches, we just want to show you how they work.
