There are 6 modules in this course
This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its subset, Machine Learning (ML). It traces the evolution of AI, from early logic-based systems and rule-driven programs to today’s data-centric and neural network models. Learners explore key milestones and the rise of intelligent assistants; that mark AI’s transition from theory to practice. The module demonstrates real-world applications of AI showing how algorithms enhance efficiency and innovation. It also examines the strengths and limitations of AI, such as its speed and precision versus issues of bias, opacity, and lack of empathy. Concluding with an introduction to AI literacy, the module emphasises the need to understand, evaluate, and use AI ethically and effectively. Learners gain the conceptual and critical foundations necessary to engage meaningfully with intelligent technologies in an evolving digital era.

This module introduces learners to Generative Artificial Intelligence, highlighting how AI systems can create content, respond to queries, and assist in problem-solving. It explains how Machine Learning enables systems to identify patterns, adapt, and improve from data over time. Learners explore Large Language Models, which form the backbone of text-based AI tools, and learn how these models process information to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses. The module also covers prompting techniques, providing strategies to interact effectively with AI systems. A key feature is the CRAFT Formula, a structured approach to designing prompts that maximise clarity and output quality. By the end of the module, learners will have both the conceptual understanding and practical skills to engage with generative AI tools responsibly, enhancing learning, productivity, and creativity.

This module presents current trends in Artificial Intelligence that are actively transforming work, learning, and daily life. It explains how natural language is becoming the new coding medium, enabling anyone to create websites, apps, or reports without learning traditional programming languages. AI is also becoming the new user interface, with conversational systems replacing multiple apps and screens, making interactions more intuitive. The module differentiates AI tools from AI agents, showing how agents can autonomously perform tasks like booking tickets, managing schedules, or summarising meetings. Learners explore the idea of AI as future workplace colleagues and the evolving personal technology landscape, where screens, apps, and operating systems may be replaced by AI-driven systems. Trends like conversational search and AI-influenced customer expectations demonstrate the need for AI literacy as a core skill. The module concludes with a reminder that the AI revolution is already underway and that humans who combine creativity, empathy, and judgment with AI capabilities will shape the future. Practical applications, ethical considerations, and collaboration strategies reinforce learners’ ability to engage meaningfully with AI in personal and professional contexts.
