The world of Generative AI is evolving at a breakneck pace, with new foundational models emerging from tech giants almost daily. But how do these AI systems relate to our own brains, and what can they teach us about learning? In this module, we'll explore the fascinating parallels between neural networks in AI and the human brain. We'll demystify the landscape of Generative Artificial Intelligence ("GenAI"), from OpenAI's ChatGPT to Google's, Meta's, and other tech leaders' offerings, understanding how these models mirror and enhance our own cognitive processes. You'll discover how AI's approach to processing information can shed light on our own learning mechanisms. We'll delve into the power of metaphors in both machine and human understanding, and examine how AI is reshaping our approach to knowledge acquisition. By the end of this module, you'll have a clearer picture of the GenAI ecosystem and gain insights into how these powerful tools can transform your own learning journey. Whether you're an AI enthusiast or a curious learner, this module will provide you with a unique perspective on the intersection of artificial and human intelligence.

Excellent course! I was familiar with the learning theory aspects through Barb's previous MOOC, but the applications of AI were completely new. Thank you so much. Steve McElroy

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
