What is this qualification?
A plain-English introduction to artificial intelligence for educators. This masterclass covers what generative AI is and is not, how the tools work, what they are good at, where they fail, and the questions of data, bias and privacy that matter in an education setting.
No technical background needed. You leave able to explain AI to colleagues and learners, and to judge a tool on its merits rather than its marketing.
