AIGC-Assisted Instructional Design for the Self-Regulated Learning Course on "Implementing 2D Animation for the Ziyun Temple Stories"

Abstract

The instructional design effectively utilizes generative AI to assist in the self-regulated learning course "2D Animation Implementation of Chiayi Temple Stories". It adopts 2D animation and the PPVIO teaching model, leveraging generative AI to create 2D animation scripts and 2D animations. This enhances and sharpens students' storytelling, 2D animation production, and the ability to use generative AI. It also promotes social care, communication, collaboration, and practical application skills. Within the domain of animation graphics, tools like Midjourney and other image-generating AIs are used, with animations completed using the Cartoon Animator 5 software. In this teaching design, teachers play a guiding and mentoring role, leading students to ask more precise prompts to make good use of ChatGPT, and guiding students to overcome the setbacks of self-regulated learning. With the assistance of AI generation tools, students can not only achieve cross-disciplinary learning objectives but, more importantly, reduce the time needed to learn drawing tools. This allows students, even those not specializing in IT, to enhance their digital capabilities in a shorter period. Two suggestions are put forth. Firstly, in the creative section, although the use of AI generation tools is convenient, once technical barriers are removed, the educational content should elevate the level of students' professional creation, such as emphasizing artistic styles. Secondly, regarding self-regulated learning, self-regulated learning should not be pursued for its own sake, nor should learning be for the mere act of learning. It's crucial to stress self-monitoring, self-regulation, and self-discipline to truly grasp the essence of self-regulated learning.
