About Artificial Intelligence (AI) Education for Teachers

Today’s learners need to know what artificial intelligence (AI) is, how it works, how to use it in their everyday lives, and how it could potentially be used in their future. Using AI requires skills and values which extend far beyond simply having knowledge about coding and technology.

This course is designed by teachers, for teachers, and will bridge the gap between commonly held beliefs about AI, and what it really is. AI can be embedded into all areas of the school curriculum and this course will show you how. This course will appeal to teachers who want to increase their general understanding of AI, including why it is important for learners; and/or to those who want to embed AI into their teaching practice and their students’ learning. There is also a unique opportunity to implement a Capstone Project for students alongside this professional learning course. Macquarie School of Education at Macquarie University and IBM Australia have collaborated to create this course which is aligned to AITSL ‘Proficient Level’ Australian Professional Standards at AQF Level 8.

What You Will Learn?

  • Compare AI with human intelligence, broadly understand how it has evolved since the 1950s, and identify industry applicationsIdentify and use creative and critical thinking, design thinking, data fluency, and computational thinking as they relate to AI applicationsExplain how the development and use of AI requires ethical considerations focusing on fairness, transparency, privacy protection and complianceDescribe how thinking skills embedded in Australian curricula can be used to solve problems where AI has the potential to be part of the solution.
