About this course

A project-based 6-hour beginner course. You pick one real task in your field, then grow it through five guided activities (define → fact-check → prompt → diligence → capstone) while 20 short videos teach the AI literacy behind each step.

What you'll learn

  • Ship a useful AI-assisted artifact for a named audience in your field
  • Delegate work between you and AI, then describe Product, Process, and Performance
  • Iterate prompts with before/after evidence tied to diagnosed failures
  • Verify claims, protect data, disclose AI use, and own the result
  • Explain your workflow so someone else can trust and reuse it
