This microlearning equips both faculty and students with the foundational knowledge needed to use generative AI tools effectively, critically, and ethically in an academic environment. As tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude become more integrated into learning and teaching, understanding how to work with them is no longer optional—it is essential.
In this microlearning, you will explore how to craft prompts that produce relevant and useful results, manage the AI’s limited memory (its “context window”) for more consistent interactions, and assess the reliability and quality of AI-generated content. As important, you will learn what ethical AI use looks like in higher education, especially regarding transparency, authorship, and protecting personal or institutional data.
Whether you are just getting started or looking to sharpen your understanding, this microlearning will give you the practical, transferable skills needed to navigate GenAI confidently. Each unit includes a short interactive quiz, and learners who complete a unit will earn a digital badge recognizing their achievement and commitment to responsible AI use.
Goals
In this microlearning course, you will learn how to use generative AI tools confidently and responsibly by:
- Crafting clear, effective prompts to get relevant results
- Managing longer conversations using the AI’s context window
- Evaluating the accuracy and appropriateness of AI-generated content
- Applying ethical and privacy-conscious practices when using GenAI
