Follow the sequence as a program or discuss a focused selection for your starting point and goals.
Module 1
Understand AI
Recognize what AI tools can and cannot do, and choose a suitable task to practice.
Practice: Compare responses to a familiar task. Identify missing context, uncertainty and claims that need checking.
Takeaway: A task checklist: where AI may help, what to keep private and what you will verify.
Module 2
Write a clear prompt
Give an AI tool the context, task, constraints and output format it needs.
Practice: Turn a vague request into a reusable brief, then improve it by comparing the results.
Takeaway: A prompt template for a task you understand.
Module 3
Evaluate the response
Check an answer against sources and requirements before relying on it.
Practice: Review a response containing errors, omissions and unsupported claims. Decide what to correct or reject.
Takeaway: A review checklist with criteria for accuracy, completeness and usefulness.
Module 4
Build a repeatable workflow
Connect prompting and review to a useful sequence of work.
Practice: Map a process, identify where AI might help and specify where a person reviews or makes the decision.
Takeaway: A workflow map with inputs, review points and a clear owner for each step.
Module 5
Prototype a useful tool
Translate a small need into a specification and test a first version.
Practice: Use fictional data to build or outline a small tool. Try realistic test cases and record what fails.
Takeaway: A prototype or build brief, plus test cases and gaps to resolve before operational use.
Module 6
Put responsible use into practice
Set boundaries for data, permissions, review and continued improvement.
Practice: Work through scenarios involving sensitive information, unreliable results and requests outside a tool's scope.
Takeaway: A practical use plan covering approved inputs, human review and when to escalate.
