Course Objectives – What You Will Achieve

This course is designed for educators who want to move beyond “trial-and-error” prompting and gain a deep, structured understanding of how to communicate effectively with AI — and how to teach those skills to others.

By the end of the course, you will:

1. Master Prompting Fundamentals and Beyond

• Understand the core components of an effective prompt: tone, context, clarity, format, and examples.
• Learn how different genres (narrative, expository, instructional, persuasive) require language-specific adaptations for optimal AI performance.
• Identify and prevent common pitfalls such as hallucinations, vague instructions, and inconsistent outputs.

2. Apply Linguistic Insights to Prompt Design

• Use linguistic structures to reduce ambiguity and improve AI comprehension.
• Apply genre-specific linguistic patterns that guide AI into producing exactly the kind of output you need.
• Employ cognitive scaffolding techniques to help students build a mental model of how AI processes language.

3. Teach Prompting Effectively to Students

• Implement classroom-tested activities that allow students to practise and improve their prompting skills.
• Guide students in recognising AI errors, refining prompts, and applying style changes.
• Develop student independence in using AI responsibly, creatively, and critically.

4. Integrate Prompting into Your Teaching Practice

• Design lesson plans that include prompt literacy as a core skill.
• Adapt AI tasks for different subject areas, proficiency levels, and learning goals.
• Blend AI-powered tasks with traditional learning methods to maximise student engagement and learning outcomes.

5. Access Exclusive Teaching Resources

You will gain tools and materials not typically included in similar courses:

• Editable Excel-based rubric for prompt evaluation.
• Comprehensive glossary of AI and prompting terminology.
• Downloadable, ready-to-use student worksheets and activities to support immediate classroom implementation.

This course doesn’t just teach you how to prompt — it teaches you how to teach prompting.
You’ll leave with both the theory to understand why prYou’ll leave with both the theory to understand why prompting works the way it does, and the practice to make it work for you and your students every time.

Target Group

This course is designed for primary and secondary school teachers, vocational instructors, curriculum developers, and school leaders who seek to navigate the changing educational landscape shaped by artificial intelligence.
