AI for Educators & Trainers
Teach with AI - grounded in the science of how people learn.
Free to watch. Starting adds a personal copy to My Learning with progress tracking and a curated-path certificate on completion.
About this path
Pair AI fluency with learning science: use ChatGPT for lesson plans, rubrics, and differentiation; prompt precisely for teaching materials; then anchor it all in how memory, testing, and desirable difficulty actually work, so the AI serves the pedagogy - not the other way round.
What you'll learn
- Generate lesson plans, rubrics, and differentiated materials with ChatGPT
- Prompt precisely for teaching content
- Apply spacing, retrieval practice, and desirable difficulties
- Coach students on evidence-based study technique
