Course Introduction and Overview (Preview)
Course Introduction and Overview
PREVIEW NOTE: This is the course introduction as included in our full online course. This is also an example of what most lesson pages will include throughout the course. Content is delivered primarily via (1) text on the page, (2) video assets, and (3) visual or graphic artifacts. To optimize the learning experience of participants, these media are interleaved throughout the course. Additionally, course content will vary between AI-generated content (including video assets, avatars, and edited material) and human-generated content (where our team not only recorded our own faces and voices but also created and edited visual and graphic content). As a course devoted to understanding the impact of AI on teaching and learning, the experience will not only emulate the ideas expressed to teachers but also encourage reflection on the efficacy of such ideas.
This preview course provides a glimpse into each of these facets to better help you understand what the content and course experience is like for participants. To learn more about the full course or to register for AI in the Classroom, visit our course offerings here.
During this AI in the Classroom course, you’ll gain a basic understanding of what Artificial Intelligence or AI is, including some basic terms, examples of different types of AI used in our world today, and how artificial intelligence can help you increase some of your teacher productivity tasks. We’ll look at different AI tools that you might consider empowering students with their own learning or creativity through the tools. We’ll share some ethical topics involving AI use for students and how you can guide your students to understand these tools and increase their digital literacy and citizenship skills around the many AI and technology tools in the world today. Finally, we’ll ask you to reflect throughout this course and also create a plan of action for you to begin incorporating AI into your own practices and the learning of your students. It’s our hope that this course provides you with positive takeaways for your classroom while at the same time educating you about any fears you might have about artificial intelligence.
