AI Fluency for Educators

This course empowers faculty, instructional designers, and educational leaders to apply the 4D Framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, and Diligence) to their own teaching practice. Participants will learn to use AI as a thinking partner to enhance course design, create coherent learning materials, and develop authentic assessments, all while modeling responsible AI collaboration for their students. Built through a long-standing partnership between Anthropic and professors Rick Dakan (Ringling College of Art and Design) and Joseph Feller (University College Cork), this course draws on their firsthand experience training fellow educators and teaching the AI Fluency Framework to students. It directly answers the question educators are asking today: how can I apply this framework to my own teaching practice? By the end of this course, participants will have hands-on experience using AI to strengthen their instructional workflows and the confidence to demonstrate thoughtful AI collaboration in their classrooms. Recommended prerequisites: Completion of AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations is strongly recommended. Learners should have active teaching or curriculum development responsibilities and access to an AI chat tool for hands-on practice. Examples use Claude.ai, but any chatbot will work.
