A process model and evaluation for developing course materials for computing curriculum using AI

In this article, we present a process model for the creation of curricular artifacts by Subject Matter Experts (SME) in computing using Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) based Artificial Intelligence (AI). We then test an SME-created artifact against one created by an SME with AI assistance within the process model's confines. A quantitative analysis of the two artifacts and their effectiveness at meeting Student Learning Outcomes showed that the artifact created by an SME with the help of AI was no better or worse than the more time-consuming method of the SME creating it alone. SMEs can make more customized, more appropriate, and effective curricular artifacts using AI that meet the needs of learners.
