A simple children’s test brings to mind Noam Chomsky’s critique that modern systems indoctrinate learners, strangling creativity and critical thinking. A tension amplified by the rise of artificial intelligence and digital learning platforms. While education has historically fostered creativity and critical inquiry, from the Enlightenment’s intellectual hubs to today’s universities, the modern shifts toward privatization, liberalism, and globalization have restricted intellectual freedom, driving universities to become captive to the research trends imposed by capital. However, eLearning and digital platforms promise democratized access, flexibility, and collaborative potential, yet they also present challenges of intellectual uniformity.
E-learning authoring tools incorporating AI-powered functionalities have emphasized course content generation to reduce production times and resource demands. However, this approach lacks thoughtful consideration of generative AI's potential impact on the quality of e-learning experiences. This article identifies current limitations in e-learning authoring tools and proposes directions that can guide vendors in incorporating functionalities that help e-learning producers create content that is both engaging to navigate and cognitively meaningful for learners.
