Leveraging AI for the Development of OER in TVET: A Study of Feasibility, Alignment, Requirements, and Stakeholder Needs in Pan-Commonwealth Countries
Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Open Educational Resource (OER) development holds promise for transforming Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), especially in under-resourced settings. This study aims to assess the feasibility and practical implementation of AI-assisted OER development within TVET by evaluating curriculum alignment, infrastructure readiness, and stakeholder perceptions. Specifically, the research investigates the viability of the Commonwealth of Learning’s Trainer-in-the-Loop AI solution across Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) and Fashion Design Technology (FDT) programmes in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Jamaica. Through a three-phase survey approach, data was collected from educators, administrators, content developers, and policymakers to understand current resource alignment, institutional capacity, and user readiness. The findings reveal a high interest in AI integration, significant gaps in curriculum-aligned learning materials, and notable infrastructure and funding constraints. Insights from the study support the development of adaptable, cost-effective OER co-produced by human expertise and AI, with practical recommendations for inclusive, curriculum-aligned, and sustainable implementation.
