Read, try, check, revisit
Read a short explanation, work through a question or fictional exercise, and use the feedback to check your reasoning. Review sessions bring questions back for more practice. A quiz score is not proof that you can perform a professional task.
You can work through the written examples without an AI subscription. If you choose to try an external AI tool, its availability, limits and costs are separate. Use fictional or permitted information, and check important claims before acting.

Module 1: AI Fundamentals
Understand what a text-generating model does, why confident answers can be wrong, and when to check a source.
Practice: Compare a draft with supplied facts and identify an unsupported claim.
Paid access
Module 2: Writing Clear AI Requests
Give a clear task, useful context and an output format. Compare the result with your instructions instead of relying on a magic phrase.
Practice: Revise a fictional request and check facts, format and unknowns.
Paid access
Module 3: AI for Everyday Tasks
Explore low-stakes planning, writing and organizing with fictional information. Include checking and editing when judging whether AI helps.
Practice: Check a suggested plan against a short list of needs and constraints.
Paid access
Module 4: AI at Work
Practice workplace updates, action tables and small calculations using supplied facts. Keep permissions and human decisions in view.
Practice: Turn fictional meeting notes into an action table without inventing owners or deadlines.
Paid access
Module 5: Planning AI Images and Video
Write creative briefs and compare described outputs with them. Consider consent, rights, misleading details and the tool access you actually have.
Practice: Review a fictional image or scene description against an explicit brief; no paid image tool is needed to read the example.
Paid access
Module 6: Planning a Simple AI Assistant
Plan a small FAQ assistant or workflow around approved facts, test cases and a clear way to handle unknown answers.
Practice: Test a fictional FAQ specification on paper before considering any live integration.
Paid access
Module 7: Checking AI and Using It Responsibly
Check sources, protect sensitive information and recognize the limits of a plausible answer. Keep uncertainty visible.
Practice: Compare a claim with supplied evidence and decide what still needs verification.
Paid access
Module 8: Keeping Your AI Knowledge Current
Evaluate a new AI claim using dated evidence, your task and the access you can verify. Avoid treating one demonstration as universal proof.
Practice: Make a small comparison checklist and choose when to revisit it.

Would you send this AI draft?
Your facts: The Elm Street book club meets on Saturday at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. Guests should bring a book they enjoyed. You have no information about food or drinks.
“Join the Elm Street book club on Saturday at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. Bring a book you enjoyed. Free coffee will be provided!”
Find the unsupported claim. Then write a version that uses only the supplied facts.
Show the explanation and one possible revision
“Free coffee will be provided” is not supported by the facts. A fluent draft can add a plausible detail without evidence. Remove that claim or ask the organizer before including it.
One revision: “Join the Elm Street book club on Saturday at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. Bring a book you enjoyed.”
Check your version: Keep the day, time, location and book request correct. Add no promise about refreshments. More than one wording can meet those checks.
This fixed example demonstrates a checking habit. It does not run a live model or assess mastery.
