I’m refreshing the community so it is easier to use and more practical. I’m preparing a short Start Here experience with useful AI courses, prompts and templates for work, business, content creation, training and education. If you’re a trainer, assessor, educator, business owner or professional using AI, tell me: What is the one task you would most like AI to make easier? I’ll use your answers to shape the next resources and masterclass.

Two things just went live. There's a new Start Here course in the Classroom tab. Four short lessons: how this community works, a two minute AI habit worth stealing, a copy-paste prompt for turning a unit into a session plan, and what I can personally help with beyond AI (I'm also a qualified trainer and assessor, and a qualified career counsellor). I'm also setting up our first Monthly Masterclass: Apply Prompt Engineering for Generative AI. Mid-September, exact date to follow once the community's grown a bit more. I'll walk through a simple, practical prompt formula and give you a handout to take away. Check out the Start Here course if you haven't already, and keep an eye out for the Masterclass date. What's the one AI question you'd most want covered? Drop it below and I'll build it into the session.

New short just went up on what prompt engineering actually means once you take it out of the hype and into a real workplace context. It's not a special technical skill, it's just being clear and specific about what you want, the same way you'd brief a new staff member. Three things covered in the video: - Why "prompt engineering" sounds more complicated than it is - What actually separates a weak prompt from a strong one - How this applies directly to the kind of AI work we talk about in this community, drafting, admin, lesson prep and more Worth thinking about: if you've been putting off using AI tools because "prompt engineering" sounded technical, this might change your mind. Let us know your thoughts in the comments once you've watched it.

Quick intro for anyone who's new here. Alongside this community, I run RTOAiVoX (rtoaivox.com.au), a set of AI tools built specifically for Australian RTOs and VET professionals. It handles things like assessment mapping, ASQA validation against the 2025 Standards, session plans, TAS documents, marking guides and more, all designed to draft the heavy paperwork so your team can review, validate and get on with delivery. This community is free and open to everyone in the sector, whether or not you ever use RTOAiVoX. But if you want to see what it can do, there's a free trial at rtoaivox.com.au. Happy to answer any questions about it here, or just say hi and tell us what part of your job takes up the most time right now.
