What the course covers

  • Six modules move from GenAI/tool selection and prompt writing to communications, information analysis/summaries and meeting productivity; then hands-on tasks with Word-style documents, presentations/images/presenter notes and spreadsheets across Microsoft 365 desktop apps, Google Docs/Slides/Sheets and LibreOffice examples.
  • The page names Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude, and explicitly says learners may use the AI tools available to them; it does not require one particular assistant.

Practice & assessment

The course says to perform guided step-by-step hands-on activities on the learner's own computer. Each of the first five modules lists multiple readings/guidelines/activities; the final module lists one course assessment. Activities span everyday communication, summarizing information, meeting productivity, revising text, generating document/presentation images, presenter notes and spreadsheet problem-solving. No human review/feedback or outcome grade detail was captured.
