Guiding the Way: Employing Midjourney for Instructional Purposes
In the realm of education, a new tool is making waves – Midjourney AI. This innovative image generator is revolutionising the way educators create visual aids and engage students, especially visual learners.
Midjourney AI shines brightest when used to generate customised and engaging visual content that simplifies complex ideas and enhances learning. It excels in creating illustrations, diagrams, and infographics tailored to lesson content in a variety of subjects, from science (3D models of the digestive system) to history (historical recreations), literature, and art.
In the arts, Midjourney AI supports education by allowing students to experiment with different painting styles and artistic methods. It also serves as inspiration for creative projects. In higher education teaching and research contexts, Midjourney enhances learning materials to improve student comprehension, engagement, and course quality.
One of Midjourney's standout features is its ability to generate photorealistic and stylistic images based on detailed text prompts, making it ideal for producing custom, precise educational visuals that meet specific teaching needs and preferences. This feature is particularly valuable in disciplines that rely heavily on visual representation for concept understanding.
The new version of Midjourney comes with user-friendly click-command options, eliminating the need to learn command lines. The Midjourney Imagine Bar is used to request image generation requirements.
Midjourney operates on a subscription basis, with four tiers: Basic, Standard, Pro, and Mega. The Basic plan offers 3.3 hours of fast GPU time per month, the Standard plan offers 15 hours, the Pro plan offers 30 hours, and the Mega plan offers 60 hours. Prices range from $8 to $96 per month, depending on the plan.
A New Teacher Starter Kit and Best Tools for Teachers resources are available on Midjourney's website to help educators get started. The platform is accessible through a website, making it easier to use compared to the previous Discord-based version.
Users can vary outputs, set default parameters, change stylization, and adjust the speed of image return on Midjourney. Midjourney now offers a Stealth Mode option to keep images private, a feature that was not previously available.
To kickstart a class, it's recommended to guide students through the site to generate images, apply tasks to work with original images generated by Midjourney, and save outputs for future use. With Midjourney, education is not just about learning, but about creating, exploring, and engaging in a whole new way.
