A Ready-to-Teach AI Literacy to Fluency Course
Bring Understanding and Working with AI to your students on the Conceptual Academy platform. You teach the course; the platform delivers the curriculum, the AI tools, the assessment, and a gradebook that keeps your whole class in view. Built with community and four-year colleges in mind — perfect for a liberal-arts elective, with no deep computer-science background required.
Why It Belongs in Your Catalog
AI Fluency Is Now a Core Competency
AI and AI ethics are already reshaping every field your students are heading into — business, healthcare, the trades, the arts, public service. They need more than passing familiarity. They need fluency: the judgment to work with AI effectively and creatively, and the skepticism to question it. This course gives any department a turnkey way to teach that, without building it from scratch.
The Instructor-Plus-Students Model
How It Works for Your Course
The Conceptual Academy platform is built for an instructor teaching a class of students. Here's the shape of it.
Adopt
We customize the course to your needs. Student and site licenses are available.
Students Enroll
Each student enrolls in your customized program — text, videos, interactive labs, project-based learning, automated assessment, unit exams, a test bank, and access to Alia, our trained AI learning assistant.
Class Gradebook
Tracks student scores on the automated quizzes. You port those scores to your LMS at the end of the semester. Easy.
The platform your students will work in
Every Student Gets a Guide
Meet Alia
Alia is the AI learning assistant built into the platform — and it's no generic chatbot. It's trained specifically on this curriculum, so it guides each student Socratically through the very material they're studying.
It takes three specialized forms — a tutor, a lab partner, and a creative collaborator. For an instructor, that means every student has on-demand, curriculum-aware help, without adding to your office hours. Plus, you can track each student's use of Alia through your instructor's panel.
The Complete Environment
What Your Students Get
Everything lives in one place — textbook pages are embedded, but printed textbooks are also available.
Full-Color Curriculum Pages
The complete curriculum is embedded directly into the platform in full color — every lesson, spotlight, lab, and project. The printed books make a fine companion, but students don't need them to complete the course.
Embedded Video Lessons
Every core lesson includes a video from the author, embedded right alongside the reading — the same videos reachable by QR code in the printed books. Commercial-free and always in context.
Three Alia AI Instances
Alia-Tutor guides students Socratically. Alia-Lab supports hands-on AI experiments. Alia-Creative assists with their writing project. Three specialized tools, not one generic chatbot.
Interactive Labs & AI Experiments
Guided, methodical experiments with AI — using Claude or the model of your choice — so students discover how AI behaves, including its biases and its limits, for themselves.
Automated Assessment
Three quiz types. The reading and video quizzes give students a chance to reflect on what they just learned. The more challenging “Homework Practice Sessions” feature mastery questions that help students apply and consolidate their understanding.
Podcast Previews
Each chapter includes a 20-minute podcast preview — a perfect solution for the student on the go.
Assessment & Credentials
A Gradebook Built In
Assessment is automated and low-stakes — points-based quizzes that accumulate rather than penalize. Everyone starts at zero and builds upward to a threshold number of points that you set. It works as a robust participation grade, combining with the unit exams, the field-journal rubric, and the literary work toward each student's complete grade.
Upon successful completion of the program, students can download a dated certificate in their name.
Each student's dated certificate — downloadable on completion
