AI in Education

In the shifting landscape of education and training, a new contender has appeared - Artificial Intelligence (AI). This course will cover what it is, what it isn’t, and how to use it responsibly. Created in partnership with AVPN and the Melbourne University Centre for AI and Digital Ethics (CAIDE), this is the ultimate introduction to ethical AI literacy.

You will learn:

What is AI?
What are the ethical considerations of using AI?
How to build your AI literacy

This course, including optional practical activities, is expected to take up to 3 hours. You can do it in one session or break it up over a few weeks. You will have ongoing access.

This course is mapped to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
