AI Fluency for Educators is a free course from Anthropic, online. It takes about 1.5 hours and ends with a free badge. We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Suits faculty, instructional designers and education leaders who want to apply Anthropic's 4D AI Fluency framework to course design, learning materials and teaching practice. A free completion badge follows the final assessment, and Anthropic lists it at 1.5 hours. The main caveat is the starting point: Anthropic recommends AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations first. A free alternative for school and vocational teachers is Ethical and effective practices for AI and data in education from the EU Academy.
