Pathway: Teaching with AI
Level: Beginner - Introduces fundamental concepts and basic applications
What if the key to working confidently with AI wasn't mastering every tool, but developing the right constellation of skill sets and mindsets to engage with any of them?
AI Essentials for Teaching and Learning is an accessible (jargon-free), pedagogically-grounded introduction to generative AI, designed for instructors and staff who are ready to move from curiosity to capability. This microcourse introduces how large language models work, how to evaluate what they produce, and how to make informed choices about when and how AI genuinely serves your context.
Participants develop a critical yet generative stance toward AI, building practical habits around verification, responsible use, and intentional tool selection alongside concrete experience with workflows they can use right away.
