Use AI to generate ideas faster—while staying in control of quality, inclusion, and accuracy. Learn how to craft stronger prompts with purpose, constraints, and clear criteria, then curate and revise AI outputs with a simple reflection routine you can reuse across lesson planning and communication.
Learning objectives
Upon completion of this module, you'll be able to:
- Draft a spec-first prompt that includes purpose, audience, constraints, and response format.
- Add evaluation criteria to a prompt so output can be reviewed for accuracy, alignment, and inclusivity.
- Revise a prompt based on what the first output reveals about missing context or unclear constraints.
- Teach a prompt literacy pattern using examples and non-examples that make quality visible.
- Explain how prompt design supports oversight and accountability when AI output is used by others.
