Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    • Asynchronous sessions: Weekly video content that will be released by EOD Monday afternoon, every week. They can be viewed at your convenience anytime.

    • Synchronous sessions: Weekly 1 hour of office hours is live and will happen on every Thursday between 5-6pm SGT.

    • We encourage all participants to enroll by Nov 17th 2024, so that you can start receiving all the asynchronous video modules and try some of the activities out to come for the first synchronous (live) office hours on Nov 21st 2024.

    • However, we will keep enrollments open till Dec 20th 2024. If you enroll after the course starts, you will still receive access to the asynchronous modules and recording of the live lessons. You will miss out on the community discussion during the live office hours.

    • We understand that the term teacher can mean a whole spectrum of people. The course is aimed towards people who teach or facilitate classrooms ranging from kindergarten to university, to graduate schools to corporate trainers. All are welcome!

    • We approximate around 2 -2.5 hours of commitment per week.

    • Approx 1 hour of watching of video modules

    • 0.5-1h hour of trying out concepts taught in that week

    • 1 hour of live office hours.

    • Yes!

    • This is a beginner friendly program aimed to get you all started from scratch. You will need a GMail ID and have to sign-up to Google Gemini (Google’s GenAI) for doing the activities for class. 

    • Since the field of GenAI is rapidly evolving, signing up for GenAI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude is also encouraged so that you can compare which one works better for your specific use case.

    • Sorry, No.

    • However, playing with these GenAI tools will give you greater familiarity in terms of the kind of text the engine generates, and you can develop the ability to spot direct replication from a GenAI response.

    • A certificate of participation will be provided at the end of the program.

    • Yes & No.

    • Yes, that is the reason why there are live office hours, bring your experiments and we can collaborate together.

    • No, we will not be able to assure you that we will be able to find the “answer” because there are only some things GenAI can do, some things it simply cannot.

    • No.
