Are you ready to integrate AI tools into your teaching ethically and effectively? Clemson Online’s latest course, COFFEE: Responsible AI, is here to guide you. Building on foundational COFFEE principles, this fully asynchronous professional development course dives into the benefits and challenges of generative AI (GAI) in education, providing practical strategies to ensure ethical and inclusive AI use in the classroom.
Delivered online through Canvas, Responsible AI is a self-paced course designed for busy educators who want to master AI’s evolving role in education. The course spans six modules over four weeks, and educators have six months to complete it upon enrollment. Each module covers critical topics, from GAI’s impact on education and its ethical considerations to hands-on strategies for prompt engineering and developing AI-friendly classroom policies.
