The RAG4Edu Training Programme
An open online programme for educators who want to design, build and evaluate RAG applications for their own courses — without advanced AI skills.
What you will learn
From first steps to your own course assistant
The programme follows the RAG4Edu Curriculum: competence-based learning outcomes at different levels, from understanding RAG to designing and evaluating it in a course.
- Understand RAGWhat retrieval-augmented generation is, where it helps in teaching and where its limits are.
- Design for learningChoose and prepare course materials and plan how learners will work with an AI assistant.
- Build and testSet up a course-specific assistant with the RAG4Edu Toolbox, templates and worked examples.
- Use it responsiblyCheck data protection, transparency and the EU AI Act, and evaluate the effect on learning.
How it works
Flexible, practical and shared
The format follows what educators asked for in our needs analysis.
Micro-learning modulesShort online units you can take at your own pace.
Group-based learningActivities in which educators design and test RAG applications together.
Flexible pathwaysEntry points for beginners and for educators with more AI experience.
Micro-credentialsOpen badges that recognise the competences you have gained.
Open educational resourcesMaterials, templates and examples under open licences.
Mentoring and communitySupport from the RAG4Edu Community of Practice.
