What if you could easily generate any image you wanted for your learning content? With AI image generation, you can.
Now, you might be thinking:
- My company would never allow it.
- I’m not techy, it’s not for me.
- AI is too artificial-looking.
Can you relate?
Trust me—I had similar hesitations until our Creative Solutions Lead at Dashe, Eric Berget, showed me the potential of AI image generators like Midjourney, Dall-E, and Adobe Firefly to name a few of the heavy hitters.
It got me thinking: Imagine the potential for anyone, regardless of their design skills, to tell compelling stories and create better learning experiences that boost learner retention and results.
That’s why I’m excited to share my favorite takeaways from our demo with Training Industry on How to Create Better Learning Experiences Using Generative AI Images. So, let’s dive in to how these tools can be a total game-changer for storytelling and elevate content development to leave a lasting impact on learners.
Generative AI Will Not Replace Good Instructional Design but Can Accelerate Content Development
Generative AI, in its essence, serves as a powerful ally to instructional designers rather than a replacement. It augments human creativity and expertise, amplifying the impact of well-crafted instructional design. When strategically integrated into the learning experience design, AI streamlines content development workflows, expedites content creation, and enhances visual appeal. Rather than usurping the role of content designers, AI acts as a catalyst for innovation, allowing us to focus on higher-level strategic tasks while automating repetitive or time-consuming creative processes.
AI Generated Images Empowers Storytelling to Enrich Learning Experience Design
At the heart of effective learning experiences lies the art of storytelling. AI-generated images empower instructional designers to become storytellers, weaving narratives that deeply resonate with learners. These personalized and immersive environments captivate attention and foster engagement, creating a rich learning experience.
With tools like Midjourney and Adobe Firefly, instructional designers and content developers can create bespoke characters, settings, and scenario based learning tailored to the learning needs and learner preferences. By infusing training materials with authenticity and creativity, AI-driven storytelling transcends traditional boundaries, transforming mundane content into memorable learning experiences.

Treat AI Generated Image Outputs Like Ingredients, Not the Meal
When working with AI-generated image outputs, it’s essential to treat them like ingredients rather than the final meal. Just like in cooking, starting with quality ingredients leads to better results. In the context of instructional design, this means having a clear vision of what you want to create and providing instructions for the AI to follow. Think of AI as a powerful tool, not a microwave that instantly delivers the finished product. By treating the output as prepped ingredients, you maintain control over the creative process and can shape the final outcome to align with your goals and vision.
AI Image Generators are a Catalyst for Team Collaboration
In the workplace, AI serves not only as a means to enhance individual learning experiences but also as a catalyst for fostering collaborative teams. By democratizing access to creative tools and empowering individuals to contribute to the design process, AI cultivates a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing. Through collaborative initiatives and cross-functional projects, teammates can leverage AI-generated content to enrich their skill sets, explore new ideas, and drive innovation. In this context, AI becomes not just a tool but a facilitator of human connection and growth, strengthening workplace communities and equipping individuals for success.
As we adapt to the changes in eLearning and content creation, AI in learning in development is set to change how we make employee training. Using AI-generated images, instructional designers and content developers can make learning more exciting and relatable. We’re just beginning to explore AI for content creation, and there’s so much more to discover.
