The Trust Problem
Your students are using AI every day — but they're accepting everything it says as fact. They don't know that AI can fabricate sources, invent statistics, and present fiction as truth with absolute confidence.

The literacy crisis
The AI literacy gap in schools
Students are adopting AI faster than schools can respond. Without critical AI literacy, they build habits that follow them for life.
The Confidence Illusion
AI doesn't hesitate, hedge, or express uncertainty. It delivers fabrications with the same polished confidence as verified facts. Without training, even adults struggle to tell the difference.
The Literacy Gap
We've spent years teaching digital literacy, but AI literacy is a different challenge entirely. You need practical frameworks and classroom activities — not another theory-heavy policy document.

The shift
From passive consumers to critical thinkers
What if your students questioned every AI response before accepting it? What if they could spot a hallucination, trace a claim, and make their own judgement? These courses give you the frameworks, activities, and prompts to make critical AI literacy a classroom habit.

FAQ
Questions, before you commit
Most AI training teaches educators how to use AI tools. These courses teach educators how to help students think critically about AI output. It's not about adoption — it's about literacy. Your students are already using AI. The question is whether they're using it wisely.
No. Fact or Fiction starts from the fundamentals — what AI hallucinations are, why they happen, and how to spot them. If you've seen a student use ChatGPT, you have enough context to begin. Every lesson includes ready-to-use prompts you can try immediately.
Fact or Fiction includes age-adapted frameworks: Triple Check for ages 8–11, VERIFY Lite for 11–14, and the full VERIFY framework for 14–18. Every activity can be adjusted for your specific year group and subject area.
Absolutely. Every module includes an 'Apply It Now' section with classroom-ready activities, AI prompts you can copy and paste, and subject-specific examples. Most educators report using their first activity within 24 hours of starting the course.
All courses work with free AI tools like ChatGPT (free tier), Claude, or Gemini. No premium subscriptions required. The techniques are tool-agnostic, so you can apply them to whichever AI assistant you and your students prefer.
