The Learning Design Suite (LDS) is an evolving set of ASU-developed tools designed to support high-quality course design, teaching, and learning.
Rather than a single application, LDS is a coordinated ecosystem of tools faculty and instructional designers can use throughout the course lifecycle. Grounded in learning science and ASU academic standards, these tools use AI to strengthen instructional clarity, alignment, and consistency — while helping reclaim time for higher-value academic work.
LDS is designed primarily for:
Some tools are faculty-facing and support course design. Others are course assistants that faculty configure for student use, ensuring alignment with course goals and instructional intent.
LDS integrates into workflows faculty and instructional designers already use. It can support:
LDS does not change pedagogical models. Instead, it strengthens existing practices by offering structured feedback grounded in learning science.
Unlike public or consumer AI tools, the Learning Design Suite is purpose-built for academic use at ASU.
These tools are designed specifically to support course quality, alignment, and academic integrity.
No. LDS is designed to support — not replace — academic expertise.
Faculty and instructional designers retain full control over instructional decisions, course content, and evaluation. LDS functions best as a structured, reflective partner in the design process.
Yes. LDS tools are built on ASU’s governed CreateAI platform and operate within university infrastructure.
Course content and user inputs are handled in alignment with institutional data privacy and security standards. All tools follow ASU’s Design Principles for Beneficial and Responsible AI and Digital Trust Guidelines to ensure transparency, integrity, and appropriate use.
The Learning Design Suite is intentionally designed as a living ecosystem rather than a fixed product. Tools are refined and expanded based on faculty and instructional designer feedback, evolving academic workflows, and emerging instructional needs.
