AI Online Courses with ISTE+ASCD
Spring and Summer 2025
As part of MassCUE’s partnership with ISTE+ASCD we are offering MassCUE members the opportunity to sign up for virtual AI Courses designed by ISTE.
ISTE+ASCD are offering two virtual course options:
- 5-hour self-paced course that is offered on a rolling basis
- 15-hour guided course with scheduled sessions with deadlines for assignments.
Please note that ISTE+ASCD is offering scholarships to participate in both courses. The AI course scholarships are offered as part of a larger project with grant funding. If you are not awarded a scholarship for the 15-hour course, you are offered a member discount to pay for the course. However, the 5-hour course is only available through scholarship and is not available for purchase. Interested educators apply through ISTE+ASCD.
