There are 3 modules in this course

This course teaches students how to collaborate with AI effectively, efficiently, ethically, and safely across academic and career contexts. Through the 4D Framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, and Diligence), students develop lasting skills that go far beyond prompt tricks, learning to use AI as a thinking partner that enhances rather than replaces their own critical thinking and creativity.

Participants will learn how to leverage AI to understand concepts more deeply, strengthen professional skills, and prepare for a future where AI fluency is essential. The course emphasizes being the human in the loop, maintaining agency, judgment, and responsibility while working thoughtfully with AI systems. Built through a long-standing partnership between Anthropic and professors Rick Dakan (Ringling College of Art and Design) and Joseph Feller (University College Cork), this course addresses a fundamental question students face today: how can I use AI to genuinely enhance my learning and career success without compromising my own growth and integrity? Recommended prerequisites: Completion of AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations is recommended for deeper understanding. Learners should have access to an AI chat tool for hands-on practice. Examples use Claude.ai, but any chatbot will work.

In this module, you'll get oriented to AI Fluency through the lens of being a student. You'll learn what AI Fluency means and why it matters for your academic and professional future, then move into the 4D Framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence) as the foundation for every AI interaction. You'll see why augmentation (using AI to extend your thinking) is more powerful than automation (handing work off entirely) in learning contexts, and you'll create a personal learning context document that guides future AI collaborations.

What's included

2 readings

In this module, you'll apply the 4D Framework to the work students actually do. You'll start with AI as a learning partner, distinguishing between using AI to do your work and using AI to actually learn, and you'll learn to steer AI into a tutor or coach role rather than an answer-giver while building a living learning journal that tracks your growth over time. You'll then move into career planning, using AI thoughtfully for career exploration, skill building, application materials, and interview practice while maintaining your authentic voice and self-knowledge.

What's included

2 readings

In this module, you'll consolidate everything into a personal AI collaboration policy you can carry beyond the course. You'll learn what it means to be "the human in the loop": the decision-maker who steers every AI interaction with judgment, creativity, and ethics. You'll define when you'll engage with AI and when you won't, how you'll use AI for learning, the transparency commitments you'll hold yourself to, and the strategies you'll use to keep your own skills sharp as AI capabilities grow.
