AI Prompt of the Month
This month’s prompt is… ‘Map practical experiences to competencies’ and comes from Anthony ‘Lou’ Louch in Public Services.
Promote this prompt with your learners to customise and create evidence for a particular assessment or application based on a real-life practical task; identifying how their practical experiences map to competencies.
We encourage you to share your top prompt through our AI Prompts online form. If you need further guidance or have any concerns regarding AI misconduct, please email us.
