OpenAI has launched a free online course to assist K-12 teachers in integrating ChatGPT, its AI chatbot platform, into their classrooms. Developed in partnership with the nonprofit Common Sense Media, this one-hour, nine-module program introduces the fundamentals of AI and explores its educational applications. On the site, the course description states that it is designed to introduce educators to the basics of artificial intelligence, generative AI, ChatGPT, and “how to use ChatGPT safely and effectively.” OpenAI and Common Sense Media say that it will help teachers decode jargon and understand how to use it responsibly, aiming to “level up your understanding of AI and ChatGPT so that you can use tools like this safely and with a clear purpose.” Leah Belsky, OpenAI’s education vice president, told Reuters: “My goal in this role is to put AI into the hands of every student and every teacher… and also give them the skills to learn how to do it responsibly and effectively.” The course comes as OpenAI increases its efforts to showcase the positive impact of its ChatGPT chatbot for teachers.
