AI in Education (for Educators)
Use AI to plan lessons, create materials, give feedback, and cut admin — while protecting student data, upholding integrity, and keeping teaching human. A practical, honest guide for teachers and school staff.
AI can genuinely help educators — drafting lesson plans, differentiating materials, speeding up feedback and admin, and supporting accessibility. Teachers who use it report saving real time. But education is full of responsibilities AI complicates: student-data privacy law (FERPA, COPPA), academic integrity in a world where AI 'detectors' are unreliable and biased, grading fairness, equity, and the risk of eroding the very learning we're trying to build. This course helps educators and school staff use AI well and responsibly.
It's built for the professional/institutional side of education (K-12 and higher ed) — not a course for students. The throughline is 'teacher-in-the-loop everywhere': AI drafts and assists, but a human educator reviews, decides, and owns the result. You'll learn where AI reliably helps, why to stop relying on AI detectors, how to protect student data under the law, and how to set clear, humane AI-use policies. This is general information, not legal advice. Module 1 is free.
