In this paper, we present an innovative approach to instructional design that combines generative artificial intelligence (AI) with learning analytics to facilitate the co-creative development of learning materials and assessments. The approach was evaluated in an exploratory study with 54 preservice teachers across three university courses. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the approach, as the students rated the AI-generated materials as good to very good and highlighted the material clarity and engagement opportunities as benefits. The approach shows particular promise for teacher education, as it can enable future educators to develop both practical experience and a critical understanding of AI-enhanced instructional design.
