About This Course

What Is The AI Micro-Credential?

This micro-credential is not about replacing your thinking. It is about sharpening it. Across five modules, you will explore what AI really is, how to use it with integrity, and how to evaluate outputs before you rely on them.

Powered by Mindshare Learning and grounded in C21 Canada's 7Cs of New AI Competencies, this credential prepares students to engage with AI as critical, creative, and ethical thinkers.

Each module is practical and accessible. You do not need to be a technical expert. By the final assessment, you will demonstrate not only what you know, but how you apply it.
