Communication & Dissemination Track
Self-paced track · 9 topics · novice → advanced
Use AI to write, translate, and disseminate public-health work — from grants and manuscripts to plain-language and multilingual materials. Every page assumes you’ve done Core 1 (prompting and the Drexel data rules). The throughline: AI drafts; you verify and own every fact, citation, and claim.
Teaching-related topics — course AI policies, assignment design, and the student-facing pages on coursework and thesis work — now live in the Teaching & Learning track. The AI features built into Outlook, Zoom, and Acrobat now live in the Everyday Tools track.
Difficulty levels
Novice getting started — no prior experience needed. Moderate comfortable with some AI use. Advanced experienced users going deep.
