What You Get
Everything in One Place
For $195 per volume, you get the complete learning environment.
Three Alia AI Instances
Alia-Tutor is trained specifically on this curriculum and guides you Socratically. Alia-Lab supports hands-on AI experiments. Alia-Creative assists with your writing project, including artifact handling for your evolving manuscript. Not one generic chatbot, but three specialized AI learning tools.
Full Color Curriculum Pages
The complete curriculum in PDF tablet ready form is embedded directly into the platform in full color — all lessons, spotlights, labs, and projects. The printed books are a wonderful study companion for those who prefer less screen time, but you do not need them to complete the program.
Embedded Video Lessons
Every core lesson includes a video from the author — the same videos accessible via QR code in the printed books. On the platform, they are embedded directly alongside the reading. Commercial free, always available, always in context.
Automated Assessment
Three quiz types build your point total: Video Quizzes (5 pts each), Reading Checks (5 pts each), and Homework Practice Sessions (10 pts each). Points accumulate — there is no percentage, no failure for a wrong answer. You simply keep building. Reach the chapter threshold and download your certificate.
Unit Exams and Study Guides
PDF unit exams that are collaborative in nature and designed for reflection and discussion rather than high-stakes testing. Accompanied by study advice and commentary from the authors to help you get the most from each chapter.
Real Human Tech Support
When you have a question, a real person responds. We are a small team that cares about your experience. If you exhaust the question bank and still need points to reach a threshold, you can submit field journal photos for manual review — because the only way not to succeed is to stop trying.
How Credentialing Works
Points, Not Percentages
We use a point accumulation system where everyone starts at zero and moves upward based on demonstrated effort. Points are earned only for correct answers. Incorrect answers remain the learning opportunity that they are.
Reach the threshold for a chapter and download a personalized 5-hour continuing education certificate with your name and date. Complete the full volume and earn a single 20-hour certificate instead. Complete both volumes for a total of 40 hours of professional development.
Along with the certificate, you'll finish with a much deeper understanding of the nature of AI and how to work with it effectively.
