Instructor Build Checklist
- Prepare one short demo for each module and one learner activity that creates a saved artifact.
- Prepare examples that match the audience, local context, and likely tools learners can access.
- Add a verification step to every AI-generated output: factual check, source check, data sensitivity check, and quality review.
- Keep a running portfolio folder so each module contributes to the final project or learner playbook.
- Reserve time for reflection on what the learner did, what AI did, what was checked, and what remains uncertain.
