Creating and Learning with AI

This unique course focuses on the pedagogical and collaborative potential of AI. It explores how Artificial Intelligence can be used to accelerate the acquisition of new creative skills and how to design educational experiences using AI tools. Students will learn to use AI as a “knowledge partner” to dismantle complex topics, create personalized learning curriculums, and build educational content for others, effectively “learning how to learn” in the age of algorithms.

§ 01 By the end you can
  1. Utilize AI to deconstruct complex creative skills into manageable learning paths
  2. Design personalized "AI Tutors" for specialized knowledge acquisition
  3. Analyze the cognitive shift from "rote memorization" to "curation and synthesis"
  4. Create educational content and tutorials using generative text and video tools
  5. Evaluate the reliability and hallucinations of AI in an educational context
