    Another excellent course from Barbara Oakley, this time collaborating with AI expert Jules White.

    I am familiar with and use AI but this course gave me plenty of different ideas to make more of the technology, both in the workplace and for learning. I can see myself returning to the videos in the future, to refresh and continue improving my skills.

    Thank you for this course!

    I have been interested in genAI development for some time now, and have bought and read Barbara's books, done in Coursera the Learning How to Learn course, and also Ethan Mollick's book and newsletter.
    This course sort of sums everything up, and brings up to date the best ways of communicating and using AI, which is, I believe, the whole point.
    Clear, concise and illuminating, it was all I expected from Coursera and the teachers.

    I'm a long-time fan of "Learning How to Learn" and Dr. Oakley, so was happy to hear about this new course.

    Wow. This completely changed the way I look at and interact with AI chatbots. I can't recommend it enough. You will find yourself excited to work with AI in all sorts of new ways that will enhance your day-to-day activities.

    Barb's way of teaching meets perfectly my understanding (and doing) of a learner and teacher (of foreign languages). I also liked to see video's from 'Learning how to learn' again octopus and backing up a car).
    Jules is excellent as well in explaining and illustrating.
    I highly recommend this course.
