Artificial Intelligence in Government
This course emphasizes four main ideas that are central to understanding how AI can impact government operations. - Different types of AI work differently and are suitable for different tasks. - AI can automate, augment, or even add new work, depending on how it is used – each of these creates value in different ways and requires different ways of measuring success. - While AI is already making government operations more efficient and effective, the greatest benefits will come from entirely new ways of working, not just from improving existing processes. - Government is good at piloting new technologies like AI, but can often struggle to scale, because scaling takes different technical and organizational capabilities that are critical to success. Join us and discover how AI applications, such as natural language processing and algorithms, can revolutionize government processes, making them more efficient, transparent, and downright impressive.

Format Pages Like A Pro
Clear, well-formatted documentation is critical for effective IT operations, yet many internal pages remain difficult to read, scan, and maintain. In this intermediate-to-advanced course, learners develop practical skills to transform text-heavy Confluence pages into clear, professional, and reusable documentation. Through guided videos, focused readings, and non-technical hands-on activities, learners explore key formatting elements such as tables, panels, code blocks, and images, and learn when each should be applied. Learners then reformat a realistic SOP by inserting a two-column table to clarify steps and ownership, and by adding a blue information panel to surface prerequisites and assumptions. The course emphasizes real-world documentation practices that improve clarity, accountability, and adoption across IT teams. Designed for IT managers and platform owners, Format Pages Like Pro equips learners to create documentation that supports faster onboarding, better execution, and long-term maintainability without requiring technical configuration or development skills.
