# prompting.schule

*A learning platform that supports all learners in dealing with AI and integrating it effectively into their own work.*

**Key facts**

- **Focus areas:** AI for Teaching, Future Learning
- **Status:** Pilot
- **Access:** free of charge, sign-in required
- **Foundations course:** 4 lessons, around 4 × 60 minutes
- **Licence:** [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
- **Source code:** [github.com/ed-tech-at/prompting-schule](https://github.com/ed-tech-at/prompting-schule)
- **Operated by:** Educational Technology unit (OE Lehr- und Lerntechnologien)

Good results with AI tools depend less on the model than on the question you put to it. prompting.schule teaches exactly that — in modular self-study courses, freely available as open educational resources.

The courses are published as **open educational resources** (OER) under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) and can be used free of charge. They are modular: learners set their own pace and timing, and decide for themselves how deep to go into a topic.

## Who the courses are for

No prior knowledge is required. The courses address:

- newcomers with no prior experience of AI tools
- students
- working professionals who want to integrate AI into their day-to-day tasks
- teachers

## The foundations course

The foundations course comprises four lessons and can be completed in roughly four times 60 minutes. The strategies it teaches draw on recommendations from OpenAI and UNESCO as well as on the research literature.

- writing clear, unambiguous instructions
- supplying reference texts and examples to raise the quality of answers
- splitting complex tasks into comprehensible steps
- formulating prompts so that the model reasons step by step

Alongside explanations and examples, every lesson contains exercises in which learners send their own prompts straight to a language model — the difference between an imprecise and a considered formulation becomes visible in their own result. Each lesson ends with a quiz; passing it earns a **digital badge**.

## Start a course

The courses are free of charge; tracking progress and earning badges requires signing in.

## A dedicated course for TU Graz staff

The course “Foundations at TU Graz” was developed in close cooperation between Human Resources Development and the Educational Technology unit, and is tailored to the requirements and fields of work of TU Graz general staff. Staff sign in with their TU Graz account rather than a separate password.

## Course for TU Graz staff

For TU Graz staff only. Sign-in works through single sign-on with your TU Graz account.
