There are several AI prompts an instructor might use to identify High Wage High Demand (HWHD) job skills for topics and activities in a course. Once the skills are identified, Instructors can then add the information into the activity description and check the box below the activity to display the description in the course or you can use the "Label" activity to add job skills information to each course topic.
- For an Activity, open the activity and select the gear icon to edit settings. Copy and paste the job skills into the Description section, and also select the box to "Display description on course page". Save.
- To add a label to a Course Topic, open the course in Moodle; then turn editing on. Scroll to topic and select "Add an activity or resource". Add label. Then, copy and paste job skills into the "Label text". Save.
eLearning has multiple AI prompt templates with examples that instructors can use to create High Wage High Demand (HWHD) activities for online courses. To access, log into Moodle, then select the Employee Training pinned at the top of the dashboard; next select the AI Training and Prompts tile in the course shell.
