Course Overview
What This Course Is
The Practicum Approach
This is not a survey course. Gen AI Mastery for Research Amplificationis a competency-based practicum — every lesson moves directly from concept to application. You will build, configure, and use real research tools from the first session. By the end you will have a personal Gen AI research toolkit that is immediately deployable in your practice.

How the Course Works
Step 1
Video Lessons
74 structured video lessons deliver concept-to-practice instruction across all 8 modules. Each lesson is concise, focused, and immediately actionable — no lecture padding, no filler content.
Step 2
Exercises & Worksheets
Hands-on application follows every unit. Worksheets are structured for real research tasks — not hypothetical scenarios. You apply every skill to your own research from the very first exercise.
Step 3
Prompts, Projects & Skills
Build and configure a personal library of Gen AI Projects, prompt assets, and research Skills. Everything you create during the course is yours to keep and deploy immediately in your practice.
Step 4
MCP Integration
Connect Gen AI directly to live research databases via MCP tools — OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, and more — for literature search, citation validation, and reference cross-checking at scale.
Step 5
Competency Checkpoints
Each module closes with a structured competency checkpoint. These are not tests — they are validation tasks that confirm you can apply the skills before advancing to the next module.
Step 6
Capstone & Certificate
Design and defend a complete Gen AI research workflow integrating all modules. Deliver a manuscript evaluation, present your toolkit to peers, and earn the Certificate of Competency on completion.
