For educators

Run Re-AI with your learners

Re-AI is a free, 40-hour programme in 4 modules that helps adults with few formal qualifications build AI literacy and digital skills for remote work. You can run it fully online, blended or as workshops. Here you will find delivery advice, a workshop plan for each module, answers to common questions and ready-to-use templates for tutors.

Self-paced online

Learners follow the 4 modules in order on the platform at about 4–5 hours a week for 8–10 weeks. Each module unlocks after the learner passes the quiz before it.

Blended delivery

Combine online lessons with one face-to-face or live online session per module. Use the session for tool set-up, hands-on exercises and questions; learners finish the rest online.

Workshops

Run one 3–4 hour workshop per module using the session plans below. Keep talk short and give most of the time to hands-on practice with the real tools.

Tutor check-ins

Offer a short 1:1 check-in at the end of each module, especially for learners with low digital confidence. Review progress, feedback and the next steps together.

Assessment and reviews

Quizzes need 70% (unlimited retakes). Exercises need 60%: 3 of 4 criteria met. Review submissions on the platform: Approve, or Needs improvement with clear feedback.

Inclusion and access

Use the key words preview, captioned videos and annotated tool guides. Most tasks work on a phone. Allow extra time and pair learners for peer support.

Badges and certificate

Learners receive a digital badge for each module and the Re-AI Programme certificate after all four modules, including the capstone. Certificates are issued automatically when all requirements are met.

Questions tutors ask

How do I mark exercises?

Each exercise has 4 criteria. Check the submission against each one. A learner passes with at least 3 of 4 criteria met (60% pass mark). Use the assessment rubric to stay consistent between tutors.

How do I approve or return a submission?

Open the submission on the platform and choose 'Approve' or 'Needs improvement'. When you return work, write short feedback: one strength, one clear thing to fix and one next step. Learners can then resubmit.

What if a learner fails a quiz?

Quizzes have a 70% pass mark and unlimited retakes. Encourage the learner to review the lesson and try again. If they fail several times, offer a short check-in to find the difficult topic.

What if learners do not have a laptop?

Most lessons and many exercises work on a smartphone or tablet. Plan workshop time on shared devices for tasks that are easier on a computer, and point learners to local digital access schemes.

How do I support learners with low digital confidence?

Share the key words before each lesson, use the captioned videos and annotated tool guides, pair them with a peer and offer a 1:1 check-in at the end of each module. Focus on core exercises done well.

How do we protect learners' data?

Learners never submit passwords or real customer data, and only check their own email for breaches. Remind them to read the data terms of free AI tools. Store records under your organisation's GDPR policy.

How do badges and the certificate work?

The platform awards a badge automatically for each completed module and the Re-AI Programme certificate when all four modules are complete, including the capstone. Tutors do not need to create them by hand.

Can learners use AI to complete the exercises?

Yes, using AI is part of the course. Learners must check and correct AI output, keep their own voice and say where AI helped. Return work that looks copied from AI without any checking.
