Visualising course content requires time and, at times, a considerable degree of insight. It involves identifying a clear and logical structure within a substantial body of material. Generative AI can serve as a useful tool in this process.

The ultimate purpose of visualising course content is to support deeper and more efficient understanding, as well as longer-term retention. It is therefore important that you first make an independent effort to determine how the material can best be structured. You may then use Generative AI and compare its output with your own visualisation. In doing so, you engage actively and critically with the material and process it more effectively. If, by contrast, you generate a visualisation with Generative AI and adopt it without further reflection, you bypass these important steps in the learning process.

Below, we outline several key do’s and don’ts.
