For an educator, AI literacy means understanding what generative AI does, where it can be useful, where it can fail and how to verify its output before it influences teaching or learner decisions. It also includes privacy, bias, transparency and knowing when a task should remain fully human-led.
You will develop a working vocabulary for generative AI, learn how model outputs are produced at a practical level, identify common failure modes and apply a simple verification process before using AI-generated material in an education setting.
What the course covers
The modules focus on practical educator workflows rather than technology for its own sake.
Core concepts, common capabilities and the difference between fluent output and verified accuracy.
Hallucination, missing context, bias and practical checking strategies.
Handling sensitive information, learner data and tasks that should not be delegated to AI.
A practical framework for deciding when and how to use AI in education work.
Designed for practical education work
The course uses everyday education tasks such as drafting explanations, adapting a resource, preparing questions and reviewing AI-generated suggestions so that concepts are connected to realistic professional decisions.
Responsible use matters
AI output should be treated as draft material that requires professional judgement, verification and adaptation. Educators remain responsible for accuracy, safeguarding, privacy, assessment decisions, intellectual-property considerations and the suitability of materials for their learners and setting.
