What a session builds
Everyone leaves with a small AI helper for one task they repeat. Brand new to AI? That's the normal starting point. We train on the tool you already use, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini, or help you choose one that fits your work and your rules.
- What AI is good at, and what you still do yourself.
- What stays out, including student information and anything your AI policy does not allow.
- A small AI helper for a task each person repeats.
Prompt practice uses the CRAFT prompt framework.
Student privacy and academic integrity first
Regulations that already apply to your work
FERPA. State student privacy laws. District AI-use policy. Institutional academic integrity standards.
We do not set this floor. We help you recognize it and design around it. Read our full AI disclaimer.
This is general guidance, not legal advice.
The HUMAN-HEART framework for faculty
HUMAN-HEART is a separate custom engagement, not part of the AI Foundations workshop, as described on the about page.
HEART lens: Education
Academic integrity. Learning outcome preservation. AI that reinforces what students are meant to demonstrate, never replaces it.

Educator quick reference
How HUMAN and HEART work together
A clear path from AI rules to visible learning.
1. Governance: what do policy, privacy, and access allow?
Rules apply throughout. Check AI literacy before assigning a HUMAN mode.
2. HUMAN: what must the learner remain responsible for?
- Hone: Work independently
- Use: Direct AI as intern
- Mediate: Check and correct
- Align: Justify within rules
- Navigate: Govern the workflow
Choose the mode that fits the outcome. HUMAN is a set of choices, not a ladder.
3. HEART: how will teaching and assessment reveal that responsibility?
- Highlight the outcome
- Examine AI vulnerability
- Assign the HUMAN mode
- Refocus assessment design
- Test integrity + transference
At HEART's A step, select a HUMAN mode; then look for reasoning, judgment, and transference.
Goal: demonstrated human capability, judgment, and accountability.
The HUMAN-HEART framework explains governance, the five HUMAN modes, and the five HEART steps.
