You will learn to optimize prompts for quality content generation, leverage AI for assessment design, refine machine-generated text, automate fact-checking and localization, mitigate bias and implement ethical AI. Through hands-on practice, sample analysis, and custom workflows, you will build a toolkit to harness AI's power for productivity, relevance, and quality. Join us and take your writing and editing skills to the next level with AI collaboration.

• I'd experimented a bit with ChatGPT previously and hadn't been impressed, but my eyes have really been opened in terms of what's possible when you really get your head around how to prompt and refine the results efficiently.

• The very specific examples of creating IELTS practice tests made me see immediately how I could apply what I'd learned.

• ​The session on identifying and effectively mitigating bias was fascinating and impressive. Lots of food for thought there!

• I've enjoyed the sessions I've been to. It definitely helps to attend more than one session to gain a real overview.​

• It was really useful that the example applications were all highly relevant to our work as educational editors/writers.

• I now feel much more aware of the huge potential as well as the issues.

• Paulo is so knowledgeable! Really personable, diplomatic, encouraging. Thoughtful answers to all our questions.

• [Paulo is] well prepared, including sending us links before the module so that we're ready when it starts.

• I've been thinking about it and telling everyone constantly.
