Description of Invention
Online learning has been introduced as an alternative to the fully physical classes. The online platform has become transparent in connecting both learner and instructor, however there are several factors that arise. With the barrier and difficulties, learners are facing their motivation decreases would result in lack of participation in the class. This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) within online education, proposing a comprehensive framework that addresses both teaching and cognitive presence. While PjBL is recognized for its innovative, student-centered approach, its implementation poses challenges, including the need for significant resources and the varying ability of students to engage in self-directed learning. To mitigate these challenges by providing real-time knowledge assistance, personalized support, and enhanced interactivity tailored to individual student needs. Drawing on the technology integration and the online-Project base learning (PjBL), a conceptual framework was developed to outline the instructor role, student role and their shared role across the key phases of PjBL: empathy, definition, ideation, prototyping, and testing. AI tools facilitate the scaffolding of learning experiences, promote creativity through generative models, and ensure user-centered design by enabling rapid prototyping and iterative testing. The AI-driven approach not only streamlines the instructional design process but also empowers learners to engage more deeply with real-world problems, fostering both cognitive and practical skills. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, this AI-integrated framework prepares students for future challenges, positioning them to succeed in a dynamic and increasingly AI-driven world.
