Using the AI Toolkit

Generative AI tools are transforming how educators plan, create, and communicate. In this module, you’ll learn how to interact with these tools effectively, understanding not just what they can do, but why and when to use key features.

We’ll cover prompt engineering, giving clear, structured instructions to get better results. You’ll explore model capabilities, from free vs paid tiers to extended “thinking” modes for complex tasks. We’ll also look at built-in tools like internet search and document upload to enhance your workflow.

You’ll dive into multimodal features, including analysing images and generating visual content. Finally, we’ll explore how to customise your AI experience and apply a simple approach to iterating and refining AI outputs.

You'll gain practical strategies to integrate LLM tools into your teaching practice... saving time, sparking creativity, and enhancing learning without needing to be a tech expert.
