Overall: Course was a practical overview, with content presentation and practice tasks. There was no feedback to improve the learning based on the tasks. Tests were easy, so low expectations. Separately, security is a question, as a spammer got into the introduction and set links to another account, without the notice of class monitors or automated systems. There were also a minor detail errors, for example: a multiple answer question did not state, select all that apply, even as the round bullets were used.

The videos were short, and a good amount of the content / learning was outsourced to other educational websites.

I have recently completed the AI for Productivity online course provided by Duke University. Overall, I found the course to be highly practical and relevant to both academic and professional contexts. It helped me understand how AI tools can be used to improve productivity in areas such as writing, research, scheduling, data analysis, and communication. One of the strongest aspects of the course was its focus on real-world applications and responsible AI use. The case studies and examples made it easier to understand how to apply AI tools effectively while still maintaining human oversight and critical thinking. I also appreciated the emphasis on prompting techniques, workflow design, and the importance of validating AI outputs to avoid errors or hallucinations. This course has significantly improved my confidence in using AI tools more strategically in my studies and future career. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build practical AI skills for productivity and professional development.

The course was very interesting, practical, and easy to follow. I especially enjoyed the real-world examples of using AI to organize information, analyze data, create content, and improve everyday workflows. The activities helped me understand both the possibilities and limitations of AI, as well as the importance of reviewing its outputs. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to use AI more effectively and responsibly.

I found this course to be very helpful. I'm reskilling to go back into the private sector and this course gave me tips on using AI for everything from scheduling to notetaking to cleaning up crazy spreadsheets. I also learned the names of many different AI tools I've never heard of that will assist me with many different types of tasks. I also liked the discussion assignments, and being able to see the responses of other learners. Thanks!

Well-structured course on AI for Productivity. It covered all the practical use cases for leveraging AI. This course includes case studies and reading materials for every module. Overall, this is a comprehensive and well-structured course on AI for Productivity. It is useful for anyone who wants to learn how to use AI in his/her professional or personal journey.

It clearly and simply explains how AI brings conveniences to personal work and learning, such as writing draft emails, creating blog posts, conduction research, and generating images and multimedia content and so on. If there are more demos, it will be better. Thank you.

Excellent course to start knowing what all AI can do. Initially I had a notion that AI means Copilot, Gemini, Chat GPT but through this course I came to know that there are many AI and each has its own strength. Wonderful course to know what AI means.

You get a great deal of exposure when you participate in the assignments. Somehow for me the one I struggled with was the "Research" module where I was introduced to the Research tools. In my line of work I was not exposed to these tools before.

Easy to follow and good practical exercises to try out prompting AI. However, I miss a summary of the course at the end with bullet list over all highlights + all links and references used during the course.

It’s a great introductory course for learning how to leverage generative AI tools in daily work. It’s especially useful for experienced tech professionals who are accustomed to handling applications manually

This course was very helpful in learning how to use various AI tools. The module topics were well designed, and the assignments provided valuable hands-on practice with these tools.

Very informative, while keeping the learning at the right grain size! I appreciated the consistent structure and flow of the modules as well.

Excellent foundational course to learn how to improve productivity both at work and home with very practical assignments.

Great course! Learned so much that I will implement into the work place. Proud to be a Duke digital learning member!

Excellent course. I learned many new concepts, tips, and techniques I can use to boost my productivity with AI.

Very simple course for someone brand new to AI. I wouldn't recommend for those with intermediate knowledge.

As someone at entry level this was perfect and I have significant more knowledge and confidence to use AI

I like the format for the course, and felt like it was a very strong introduction to key features of AI.

I really liked this course. It has increased my knowledge on how AI isn't just a cheating tool.
