Description

AI Fundamentals for Training: Understanding, Designing and Governing Use

Embedding artificial intelligence in your training without handing over your teaching judgement to a tool

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Intermediate
  • Up to 6 participants

Generative artificial intelligence tools have found their way into trainers' daily practice without any shared framework. The outputs look convincing yet are sometimes wrong, materials lose their distinctive identity, and participants' questions about the data being shared go unanswered. Teams hesitate between outright prohibition and uncontrolled use.

These two days establish a realistic working framework. Participants understand what these tools can and cannot do, formulate usable requests, apply them to course design and assessment, and then define practical rules of use.

Learning objectives

  • Explain how generative AI tools work and where their limits lie
  • Formulate precise requests and iterate to obtain a usable result
  • Use AI to accelerate the design of a session plan and its materials
  • Design activities and assessments that remain robust despite these tools
  • Check and correct generated output before releasing it to learners
  • Define rules of use and participant disclosure practices

What makes this programme different

Production of a complete session plan generated with AI support and then reworked live
A verification protocol for generated content before release
A usage charter drafted collectively and adaptable to each organisation

Programme

1Understanding generative AI tools

Knowing what the machine actually does

  • How language models work in principle
  • The nature of the errors produced and the notion of a plausible answer
  • Families of tools useful to trainers
  • Confidentiality of the data submitted

2Formulating and iterating

Obtaining a usable result

  • Structure of a precise and contextualised request
  • Providing examples and format constraints
  • Successive iterations and rephrasing
  • Using your own content as raw material

3Designing and assessing with AI

Saving time without losing control

  • Producing a session plan and activity scenarios
  • Generating practical cases and role-play situations
  • Creating assessment questions and model answers
  • Adapting materials to a specific audience
  • Designing activities that remain robust when learners use these tools

4Governing use

Setting workable rules

  • Informing participants about the use of these tools
  • Content verification and traceability of sources
  • Rights and reuse of generated output
  • Drafting an internal usage charter

Who is it for

Trainers · instructional designers · learning and development managers · and lead trainers in training providers or internal learning functions.

Prerequisites
