Course Objectives

In this micro-credential, the educator explores how effective prompt creation leads to more relevant output when using AI, but is aware that these outputs are created through pattern recognition rather than thoughtful, creative processes. They then use AI outputs in conjunction with their own expertise to create specific materials to use within their work.
