Lecturer guide Evidence-based learning Responsible collaboration

CAS Human-AI Collaboration

Find teaching plans, participant assignments and course concepts. Across nine challenges, participants test how to predict, steer and check AI behaviour.

The course shifts focus

FROM“What can AI do?”

TO“How do we design human-AI collaboration so that reliable, responsible outcomes emerge?”

Teaching plans and course concepts

Start with a unit to prepare a class or open its participant assignment. Use the concept pages to connect observations across units.

Prepare

Plan a Friday

Open the complete schedule, experiment, challenge kickoff, and teacher setup for a specific unit.

Interpret

Explore a literacy

Trace what explains and shapes behaviour across Interaction, Mechanism, Data, System, and Human-Context.

Explain

Find an AI fundamental

Locate the concepts, demonstrations, caveats, and questions that explain observed results.

Progression

Nine Fridays, one learning arc

Each unit adds a form of control while contributing evidence to the participant’s emerging personal theory of control.

Unit 01 · Teaching plan

From Asking to Structuring: Designing AI Interaction

Participants compare a direct request with a supplied five-phase collaboration process. They learn to shape context, make decisions and judge results through evidence.

Interaction literacyLevel 1: Instruction
Unit 02 · Teaching plan

From Structuring to Alignment: Clarifying Before Generating

Participants clarify a task before execution and keep accepted decisions in files. They move from a virtual Markdown workspace to local Python analysis, then use verified results to prepare a report across fresh contexts.

Interaction literacyLevel 2: Alignment
Unit 04 · Teaching plan

From Opinion to Evidence: Grounding AI in Data and Sources

Participants learn that fluent output is only as defensible as the information made available to the model. They learn to inspect source selection, retrieval, chunking, citation, and claim support rather than treating a grounded answer as reliable merely because it contains references.

Data literacyLevel 1: Instruction with grounded evidence control
Unit 05 · Teaching plan

From Answers to Processes: Designing Human-AI Co-Construction

Participants turn a single request into an inspectable process with consequential human decisions. Four cumulative exercises use the same equipment-loan case: introduce three process cuts, make the intermediate artefacts and checkpoints explicit, add reviewing perspectives and roles, then evaluate quality, control and effort. PDCA brings these elements together. A live demonstration shows how project folders, Markdown files and skills support continuity and reuse.

System literacyLevel 3: Co-construction
Unit 06 · Teaching plan

Reflection Loops: Critique, Revision, and Better Reasoning

Participants organise critique, evidence and human decisions into workflows. In the Arena they first improve a judge, then keep the selected judge fixed while testing a generator change.

Interaction literacyLevel 4: Reflection
Unit 07 · Teaching plan

Leadership, Responsibility, and Legitimation in Human-AI Systems

Participants learn that a plausible AI recommendation does not become a legitimate decision merely because a human approves it. They learn to design and test the decision rights, evidence requirements, escalation routes, and opportunities for contestation that make human responsibility substantive rather than symbolic.

Human-Context literacyLevel 4: Reflection with responsible co-construction
Unit 08 · Teaching plan

Designing Workflows: From Single Chat to Reliable AI Systems

Participants learn to move beyond a sequence of chat turns and design a controllable agentic system with explicit state, capabilities, routing, validation, permissions, stop conditions, and human approval. They learn when orchestration improves reliability and when it only adds complexity.

System literacyLevel 5: Orchestration
Unit 09 · Teaching plan

Security and Trust Boundaries in Human-AI Collaboration

This final Friday makes security concrete as a control problem. Participants integrate learning from the preceding units to recognize where an AI-supported office task can lose control and to redesign the collaboration so that data, instructions, permissions, actions, and human responsibility remain appropriately separated.

System literacyLevel 5: Orchestration with security-aware control

Module 2

From accumulated evidence to adaptive mastery

Participants select and interpret evidence from the nine challenges, redesign a context-specific work practice, stress-test its adaptability, and articulate a Human-AI Collaboration Blueprint and personal theory of control.
