Global Not Applicable
Artificial Intelligence for Learning Professionals is a self-paced online course designed to strengthen the capacity of learning designers, trainers, programme officers, and educators to integrate generative AI into the design and delivery of learning and capacity-building initiatives.
The course provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach to generative AI tools, prompt engineering, ethical and responsible AI use, and applied workflows for learning design. Participants learn how to use AI purposefully across the training cycle, from needs analysis to content creation and evaluation, while maintaining a human-centered, ethical, and context-aware approach.
Through five structured modules, the course supports both conceptual understanding and practical application, enabling professionals to enhance creativity, efficiency, and instructional quality using AI.
