Curious about how generative AI can support your work in education? This introductory, asynchronous course is designed to help educators build foundational knowledge about generative AI and its role in education today.

Participants will explore commonly used AI tools, learn how to avoid common pitfalls, and discover practical strategies to enhance educator efficiency and expand student access to learning materials. The course emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing participants to choose an AI tool and apply their learning by creating a resource or product they can immediately use in their current role.
