The full title of this course is The Human Advantage - Creativity, curriculum and assessment in an age of generative AI
This course responds to the growing anxiety among educators that generative AI tools may replace creative thinking, originality, student effort and even the job of a teacher. Rather than positioning AI as a threat, the course re-frames creativity as the essential human capability that gives learning meaning, relevance, and integrity in an AI-rich world.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain why creativity is more important than ever in an AI-enabled world
- Distinguish between AI-generated output and human creative thinking
- Design learning tasks that prioritise process, originality, and student voice
- Redesign assessment to value thinking, iteration, and reflection
This course also examines how AI cannot replace the role of a teacher, because teaching is, at its core, a profoundly human profession.

Who this course is for
Educators who are worried that generative AI is quietly displacing creative thinking, originality and student effort, and who want something more useful than a ban.
What you will be able to do
- Explain why creativity matters more in an AI-enabled world, not less
- Tell the difference between AI-generated output and human creative thinking
- Design learning tasks that prioritise process, originality and student voice
- Redesign assessment so it values thinking, iteration and reflection
What is covered
Two modules, plus an introduction and a portfolio setup. Module one looks at the AI moment in education: why generative AI feels disruptive, the common fears about cheating and lost skills, and why banning tools does not address the deeper learning problem. Module two turns to creativity itself, including what creativity actually is beyond talent or art, and the Four C model.
What is included
- 13 lessons, around 80 minutes of video
- A guided digital portfolio setup you build as you go
- An optional generative AI activity to try the ideas out
