Sepulveda is an instructional designer. Her job is deciding how a course comes together, how learning objectives turn into real activities, and how what students do in class connects to what they will actually need when they leave. When AI started reshaping that work, she made a decision: she was going to understand it properly, not pick up talking points from articles. She enrolled in the Certificate Program in Agentic AI by Johns Hopkins University with Great Learning and, without any coding background, built a working AI agent that is already changing how courses get developed at her institution.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- [4] LEARNER PROFILE -->\n    <div class=\"gl-art-section\">\n      <div class=\"gl-eyebrow\">LEARNER PROFILE<\/div>\n      <h2 id=\"an-instructional-designer-who-decided-to-understand-ai-from-the-inside\">An Instructional Designer Who Decided to Understand AI From the Inside<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"gl-profile-single\">\n        <div class=\"gl-profile-photo\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/elbaM-agentic-ai-learner.webp\" alt=\"Elba M.

It is where learning objectives get mapped to activities, assessments get connected to outcomes, and the entire logic of a course gets worked out before a single student ever sees it. It is also slow, inconsistent, and completely dependent on how much experience the instructor sitting in front of it happens to have that day.<\/p>\n      <p>Elba saw that as a problem worth solving.
