Abstract
Education is a strategic lever for achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN. However, it is being rolled out in a challenging demographic context characterized by a growing demand for education in many parts of the world, coupled with a lack of resources, both material (infrastructure, premises) and human (shortage of teachers). In this context, Open Educational Resources (OER) appear to be an educational tool of choice for promoting access to and dissemination of knowledge on a large scale. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is now reinforcing this potential. Many EdTech companies offer solutions for automatically generating educational content that can be integrated into digital environments (LMS). However, creating high-quality OERs requires more than just the use of technology; it requires a rigorous approach, guided by educational and ethical principles. This article proposes a 10-step workflow for integrating generative AI into the design of OERs. Each step specifies the possible contributions of AI, examples of prompts and tools that can be used, supported by a summary table.
