Start Building What Your Students Need.
A 3-week Professional Development Course
Today’s faculty face increasing demands:
- More course preparation with less time
- Growing expectations around student engagement
- Rapid changes in technology and workforce skills
- Uncertainty about how AI belongs in higher education
AI-LEAP was created to address these challenges directly.
Rather than discussing AI in theory, you’ll use it to solve real instructional problems inside your own courses.
Six online hands-on sessions designed for faculty and academic leaders — moving from using AI to thinking with it, redesigning courses, and building tools you’ll actually use.
Tools Used.
No prior experience required.
All free apps.
You will leave this course with the ability to
-
Redesign assignments and teaching practice using AI
-
Produce tools, rubrics, interactive scenarios, and resources you’ll use next term.
-
Move from occasional AI use to confident, intentional AI-augmented teaching.
What Makes AI-LEAP Different?
Most AI workshops demonstrate tools.
AI-LEAP develops capability.
Every session combines expert demonstration, guided practice, and immediate application to your own teaching.
You won’t spend hours watching presentations.
You’ll spend your time building.
The AI-Leap Prompt Framework
Introduced in Session 1 and used throughout the course. A well-structured AI prompt has seven facets. Most faculty use two or three and wonder why the results are mediocre.
- Role & Perspective
- Task & Goal
- Context & Background
- Audience
- Format & Length
- Constraints
- Tone & Voice
