AI as your thinking partner: fostering critical thinking in the age of AI

A learning design course for educators, facilitators and learning leaders who want practical renewal and reusable approaches to designing high-quality learning experiences.

A practical, learning-by-doing programme for higher education teachers who want to embed critical thinking (CT) into their courses but are unsure where to start. Participants work on one real topic from their own course and build a complete, reusable ‘critical thinking infusion package’: teachable claims, assessable outcomes, question sequences, short metacognitive wrappers, an in-class activity, and a manageable assessment prompt with a simple rubric. AI is used as a thinking partner to generate alternatives, surface assumptions, and stress‑test reasoning – participants remain responsible for judgement and academic standards. All design work happens during the sessions.

What you’ll leave with

A personal action plan, facilitation tools you can reuse, and a refreshed perspective on learning design.
