What you'll learn

  • Knowledge: explain what each of the six prompt components does, and what goes wrong when one is missing
  • Knowledge: tell input information (what) from context (why), and match six formats and four styles to a task
  • Knowledge: explain why AI answers can sound confident and still be wrong
  • Skills: write a prompt with all six components and get a usable AI answer the first time
  • Skills: set a specific role and a measurable request you can check in ten seconds
  • Skills: add the information, context, format, and limits that make the answer fit your learners, time, and room
  • Skills: diagnose a weak prompt in three steps, and adjust any answer with smart follow-ups
  • Skills: build a reusable library of five prompt templates for your own teaching or training work
  • Autonomy and responsibility: keep learners' personal data out of every prompt
  • Autonomy and responsibility: verify AI output before it reaches a student, and stay responsible for your material
  • Autonomy and responsibility: tell learners when AI helped, and score your own work honestly, with evidence

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

(I am an instructor from Vietnam. English is not the main language in my country, so I use AI to help me share my knowledge, experience and lessons learned with learners around the world.)

You ask the AI to plan a lesson. You get back three pages of generic text that fits no class in particular.

So you rewrite it. Ask again. Rewrite again. The "time saver" just became one more task on your list.

Here is the good news: the AI is not the problem. Your prompt is. And a good prompt is not a talent. It is six parts you can learn in an afternoon.

Meet the 6-Part AI Formula: Role, Request, Information, Context, Format, and Limits.

Give the AI all six, and it answers like a capable colleague who actually knows your class. In the very first lesson you watch the same task run twice, with a five-word prompt and then a six-part prompt, and you see the difference with your own eyes.

You practice on real teacher tasks: a 45-minute lesson plan, an email to a parent about late work, feedback on a student essay, a quick quiz, a staff training session, a rubric, a text at three reading levels, and more.

This course is short on purpose, and strict about proof.

You do not just watch. You take two timed final tests (20 questions each, 14 correct to pass) and submit a project that you score yourself against a clear rubric. If you pass, you know the formula works for you, not just for the examples.

What you get:

  • 13 focused video lessons with on-screen examples and English captions

  • 26 practice questions with feedback on every answer choice

  • 2 full final tests, a hands-on project, and a scoring guide with grades

  • 6 downloadable resources: a fill-in template, a quick reference card, a formats and styles list, 10 sample prompts for teachers, a weak-prompt diagnosis sheet, and the project guide

Who it is not for: anyone looking for coding, model training, or advanced automation. This is about writing clear prompts for everyday teaching work.

Start the first lesson for free. In about three minutes you will see exactly what changes when you give the AI the six parts.

About how this course was made: it was designed, directed, and reviewed by the instructor, with AI tools assisting in drafting, editing, and production. The narration uses a synthetic voice, and the background music and some sound effects are synthesized. The teaching method, the examples, and the assessments were chosen and approved by the instructor.

Who this course is for:

  • School teachers and university lecturers who want AI to save planning time
  • Vocational teachers, corporate trainers, and tutors in any country
  • Educators who already tried AI but found the answers too generic
  • Beginners who want a simple formula instead of a long list of tips
