AI for Employees at Higher Education Environments

This compact course helps staff across higher-education—administration, libraries, student services, IT, communications, finance, and more—use AI safely and effectively in daily work. You will learn practical workflows for drafting and editing documents, summarising policies, triaging email, preparing web content, improving accessibility, and building simple automations. We discuss university policy examples, privacy and security considerations, risk management, and how to drive responsible adoption in your team. The course is self-paced and designed to fit around your schedule; we suggest a steady rhythm of one to two modules per week, with aligned cohort starts that enable peer exchange and community learning. Assessment focuses on an individual project that turns a real task into a durable AI-assisted workflow you can deploy immediately. With 1.5 ECTS, support for Swedish and English, and a start date as soon as you’re ready, this course delivers measurable productivity gains while strengthening quality, compliance, and service for students and colleagues. We also cover change management and communication: how to introduce AI tools transparently, collect feedback, and establish guidelines that balance innovation with responsibility. By the end, you will know what to automate, what to keep human-led, and how to evaluate outcomes with confidence.
