The services presented in the course are free to use, and should not cause extra costs to the student. Course Contents: AI for Supporting Learning: This part of the course focuses on using AI to support learning, such as breaking down assignments into manageable parts and creating project plans. You will learn how to use AI for producing plain language texts, understanding and translating materials, and modifying the tone and style of texts. You will also practice role-playing conversations with AI partners. AI Text Generation: You will explore the theory behind generative text and learn to create different types of texts, including templates, emails, and reports. You will use AI for note-taking, creating mind maps, and proofreading, as well as correcting errors in your texts. You will practice language learning with AI, and receiving feedback. AI Information Search: The section teaches information retrieval and effective use of sources. You will learn to gather information from multiple sources, summarize complex texts into plain language, and use AI to create and practice comprehension questions based on the content. Audiovisual Presentation: You will create presentations and generate images using AI tools such as Firefly, DALLE-3, and Leonardo. The course can also cover video creation with AI assistance.
