Advanced AI in Education Course: Tools & Creativity

This course is for educators who already use ChatGPT or Gemini and are ready to go further, from single prompts to AI tools they design and build themselves. Participants start with advanced prompting techniques: chains, examples and constraints. They then build their own custom GPTs and Gemini Gems for their subject, create NotebookLM notebooks grounded in their own sources and start a reusable prompt library for their school. Next, they explore AI for multimedia content:

images with Canva Magic Studio and Adobe Firefly
presentations in minutes with Gamma
voice and music with ElevenLabs and Suno
video avatars and short explainer videos

Participants then design and test a class AI assistant with clear roles, sources and limits, checking it with real and out-of-scope student questions, and explore classroom tools such as MagicSchool, Brisk and Diffit. The course closes with the legal and strategic side of AI in schools:

the EU AI Act and GDPR
assessment integrity in the age of AI
drafting an AI policy and an action plan for their school

No coding is needed, and free versions of the tools are enough.

The course aims to help educators move from using AI to designing with AI. They create their own tools, materials and assistants, tailored to their subject and learners. It also prepares them to lead the responsible use of AI in their school. They learn to know where the teacher must stay in the loop and how to protect learners’ data and assessment integrity, and they shape a clear school AI policy in line with European regulation. In this way the course contributes to the Erasmus+ priority on digital transformation and to the development of digital leadership in schools.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Use advanced prompting techniques such as chains, examples and constraints for complex teaching tasks
Build custom GPTs and Gemini Gems for their own subject
Create NotebookLM notebooks grounded in their own sources
Build a reusable prompt library for their school
Create images, presentations, audio, music and short videos with AI tools
Design a class AI assistant with clear roles, sources and limits
Test AI assistants with real and out-of-scope student questions and decide where the teacher must stay in the loop
