Course content

2 sections • 16 lectures • 55m total length

  • Welcome and Why is Prompt Engineering the "New" Critical Skill3:45

    Discover how prompt engineering unlocks expert insights and a productivity edge by shaping AI outputs with clear, role-specific prompts, plus strategies for reusable prompts across tools and tasks.

  • Constraint Prompting​3:39

    Explore how constraint prompting sets boundaries to target AI outputs by tone and length. Apply these constraints to produce concise, targeted content such as emails and bullet point job aids.

  • Role Prompting​3:28

    Role prompting asks AI to adopt a specific professional persona, anchoring reasoning, vocabulary, and tone to deliver context-aligned, consistent outputs as a learning strategist or consultant.

  • Few-Shot Prompting​2:53

    Learn how few-shot prompting uses examples to teach AI to mimic style, tone, and structure, delivering consistent, template-driven outputs across branding, workflows, and microlearning tasks.

  • Chain-of-Thought Prompting​2:22

    Explore chain-of-thought prompting to reveal step-by-step reasoning, boost AI accuracy, and uncover flaws. Learn how to apply it to complex decisions, teaching, and blended learning scenarios.

  • Structured Output Prompting​2:54

    Structured output prompting teaches shaping AI outputs with a specific template or format—tables, checklists, or SOPs—producing organized, repeatable results that save time and improve clarity.

  • Persona-Targeted Prompting​4:31

    Master persona-targeted prompting to tailor outputs from artificial intelligence for specific audiences, control tone and language style, and create audience-ready emails, summaries, or presentations across stakeholders.

  • Multi-Turn Interactive Prompting​5:12

    Explore multi-turn interactive prompting, guiding dialogue with AI as a collaborator to refine outputs through back-and-forth questions and five clarifying questions, boosting tailored training design for supervisors and learning projects.

  • Retrieval / Reference Prompting​ (File Uploads)4:27

    Upload documents to enable the ai to analyze the curriculum and policies as the primary source, reducing hallucinations and delivering accurate, reference-based insights.

  • Rewrite + Expansion Prompting​2:55

    Rewrite and expansion prompting lets you revise, expand, or condense content to improve clarity, tone, and readability, adapt to different audiences, and save time.

  • Scenario & Simulation Prompting​4:07

    Scenario and simulation prompting enables interactive role plays with AI to simulate realistic workplace conversations, objections, and crucial requests, reducing planning time and standardizing onboarding and project workflows.

  • Workflow Prompting​2:01

    Master workflow prompting to optimize multi-step l&d processes with end-to-end thinking, including steps, timelines, and templates for discovery through launch of standardized, repeatable e-learning and onboarding plans.

  • Evaluation + Scoring Prompting​3:38

    Leverage evaluation and scoring prompting to apply AI-driven, criteria-based judgments with structured scoring and transparent reasoning. Standardize assessments across content, reviews, and hiring with detailed criteria, scales, and objective feedback.

  • Quiz
  • L&D Peer Asking for Help To Improve Their AI Prompting

Requirements

  • There are no prerequisites other than the desire to improve your interaction with AI through better prompting.

Description

Prompt Engineering for Learning and Development Professionals is a practical, role-specific course designed to help L&D teams accelerate content creation, improve instructional quality, and streamline operations using AI.
