This three-course series provides a comprehensive understanding of AI tools, their applications, and their strategic impact across industries. Students will explore prominent AI platforms, learn how to leverage AI-driven data visualization tools for decision-making, and apply AI solutions to real-world business challenges. Through hands-on demonstrations and practical use cases, participants will gain the skills to effectively integrate AI into various professional roles and organizational levels.
The coursework is available on demand and self-paced. Courses can be taken independent of one another and in any order. Once you register, you will receive a link and code to access the Canvas Learning Platform. Content is structured into 4-week sessions; however, they are work at your own pace so you don't need to rush to complete the material in that timeframe, it will remain available.
Courses do include knowledge checks, exercises and “assignments" to practice using tools with guidance. As a professional development course, these are optional activities to apply concepts and test skills. We encourage participation in as much or as little as you like. Essentially, we want you to practice and learn on your terms and preferences.
