Reviewer's verdict

A decent starting point for teachers inside the Microsoft world, but it's more of a guided tour of Copilot features than a true course on using generative AI in education.

Who it's for

Educators new to AI who need a structured, Microsoft-centric tour of what's possible.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking for deep prompting skills or tools outside the Microsoft ecosystem.

Pros

  • Provides concrete examples: creating a syllabus, lesson plans, rubrics.
  • Focuses on practical classroom applications, not abstract tech.
  • Structured environment is good for complete beginners.

Cons

  • Heavily tied to Microsoft Copilot, limiting its broader applicability.
  • Feels more like a product demo than a skills workshop.
  • The 'prompting techniques' are very basic.

The syllabus-generator exercise was the main event. You feed Copilot a course description, it spits out a weekly schedule. Okay. Then you ask it to make a quiz. Also okay. We spent a lot of time on what felt like a feature walkthrough for a product I was already using. It's all very… polite.

My team was looking at this as a model for our own internal training, and the big takeaway was how to frame AI for a non-technical audience. It succeeds there. It shows the 'what'—what can this do for my daily tasks—without getting bogged down in the 'how.' But as a learner, I felt like I was just following a recipe. There was no moment where I had to figure something out. It's a safe, managed introduction, but don't expect it to teach you how to think with the tool.
