Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that focuses on creating machines that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. AI systems are designed to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions or predictions based on that information.

Emerging technology is essential to advance in technological advancement and be more reliable in professional settings. Like humans, we need to revolve from being a child to an adult. These changes are an essential aspect of life to grow and pace all the challenges ahead. Nowadays, we are relying almost 80% of our time on technology. Whether we are studying and even resting at home, we consume a lot of technology to make life more meaningful and manageable (Williams, 2017).

• Online learning – Back in the old days, all students were required to go to school to learn and study. They even carry a lot of books to school to follow the instructor on daily lectures and activities. They can only learn by listening to their instructor's class and copying all the content and materials on the blackboard to ensure that they can pass the course and move to the next level. It gradually evolves through the help of the internet connection that allows us to access, learn, and do almost everything. We are forced to do things differently during the pandemic, including working from home, enabling us to grow more and motivate ourselves to work and learn. As instructional designers, our work primarily focuses on designing and developing digital content and online courses. It proves that without the help of emerging technology, it will be difficult for us to survive and work from home. Computers and online learning using our computers help us overcome the obstacles of Education and working simultaneously. It let us manage our schedule with flexibility and perform all the necessary tasks anywhere.
• Virtual Communication Platform – Due to the high volume of online classes, the virtual communication platform becomes the number one software used during the pandemic season. Educators rely more on weekly Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Bongo virtual classes, and other communication platforms to provide information and teach their lessons virtually. Now that the pandemic is over, this emerging technology remains part of online features for once-a-week sessions to meet the students or set up a private meeting with the instructor. It modernizes the traditional way of learning and live-streaming the class to contribute to the learning experience.
• The Quiz Gaming platform – Using Kahoot is one of the best and engaging multimedia tools to catch students' attention. In my current job, this application is always present in traditional courses. It helps build connection with the group and allow everyone to participate in a more fun learning setting.

It is ideal for implementing new technologies in Education to grow student understanding and utilize the highest level of teaching as the new generation nowadays is more engaged in technology. Implementing this in Education can boost the learning innovation and capability of both the learners and the educators. It also helps us improve in every step of the process (Sutherland, 2020).

Working as instructional designers has a lot of responsibilities that provides professional content for the learners to reflect honesty with integrity. Especially when working for higher education, the content should be precise and well written to help the student grown on their academic journey. As instructional designers, we have to consider all aspects of content to avoid plagiarizing someone else works. Content from the internet is not always accurate and reliable, and it is advisable to cite the content correctly and, if possible, re-write the words or paraphrasing it (Nixon, 2018).

(Fredericks, 2021).

• Ask someone to proofread the content and ask for feedback. It will help the builder to target things that need improvement.
  
• Check all the content and data sources before and after publishing the course to learners. It is a good practice instructional designers should focus more. As humans, we tend to say or post things before we understand the situation or topic.
  
• A plagiarism checker is advisable when creating content Grammarly.com is what most university uses to write effectively and avoid plagiarizing content. It also has spelling corrections.
  
  

Remember that providing clean and right content is a sign of honesty to reflect and respect yourself.
