Summary

Video transcript

Artificial Intelligence, or AI. How do you feel about it? You may be excited and already looking for ways to leverage this tool, you may feel stressed about how you’re going to work yet another element into your teaching practice, or you may even be downright sceptical and see this as just another fad in the education space.

That’s why Cool.org has teamed up with Melbourne University’s Centre for AI and Digital Ethics. We’ve tapped into the knowledge and skills of experts to create this course specifically for educators. We look at the benefits, how to mitigate the risks, and get hands-on to build your skills.
