EXPAND offers a free, asynchronous on-line training titled AI Essentials.

This course provides a foundational introduction to Artificial Intelligence for Extension professionals and can serve as a first step for organizations building internal capacity. 

The training is Extension-focused and provides a solid grounding of what AI is and how it can be used. The on-line course is interactive and takes about an hour to complete.

If you’re interested in tailoring this course to your institution’s branding or specific AI tools, please contact Amber Shanahan (amber.shanahan@wisc.edu) for an instructional design consultation.

We’re excited to continue expanding these offerings and supporting professional growth across our system. Thank you for helping amplify these opportunities and for your ongoing commitment to learning, leadership, and impact.
