AI in Learning
AI in Learning is a specially designed course offered by Acorn Training in connection with the AI for Fun (Primary) and AI for Fun (Secondary) initiative by IMDA. This course introduces students to practical and accessible ways of applying artificial intelligence to support and enhance their everyday learning. Rather than focusing on the technical development of AI systems, the course shows students how to make use of existing tools that are designed to improve how they study, practise and understand academic content.
Students will explore how AI can assist with creating personalised study plans, identifying knowledge gaps, and providing targeted feedback to help them progress more efficiently. They will also learn how to use AI-powered platforms to summarise information, organise revision material and suggest new areas for exploration based on their interests and performance. These tools allow learners to go beyond memorisation and engage more deeply with the subjects they are studying.
By the end of the course, students will be equipped with strategies to:
- Set clear and achievable learning goals using AI tools
- Track academic progress and identify patterns in performance
- Plan and organise study routines with personalised support
- Identify specific areas for improvement through targeted insights
- Explore topics beyond the curriculum with guided AI recommendations
Safe and Responsible Use of Generative AI
As part of our commitment to digital literacy, Acorn Training places strong emphasis on the safe and responsible use of generative AI tools. While these technologies offer exciting opportunities for learning and creativity, it is essential that students understand how to use them ethically, critically and with awareness of their limitations.
In this component of the programme, students are taught to evaluate the reliability of AI-generated content, recognise potential biases, and maintain academic integrity. They learn how to balance the use of AI with their own thinking, ensuring that tools are used to support and not replace original thought and effort. Topics also include digital privacy, responsible sharing and understanding the broader social and ethical implications of emerging technologies.
This ensures that students are not only capable users of AI but also thoughtful participants in a digital society. Through guided discussions, case studies and real-life scenarios, they develop the critical mindset needed to use technology wisely and confidently in their academic and personal lives.
Empowering Students Through AI in Learning
AI in Learning equips students not only to excel academically but also to take meaningful ownership of their educational journey. With the support of our experienced educators, students gain the confidence to use digital tools thoughtfully, effectively and creatively. This empowers them with lifelong learning habits and prepares them to thrive in both school and the wider world.
