- Exercises and interactivity: incorporating exercises and interactivity in this lesson is essential throughout in order to help learners stay involved
- Throughout the lesson, provide clear definitions for jargon terms. Differentiate between the terms ‘AI’ and ‘ML’ and be careful not to use them interchangeably. When speaking generally, use the broader term ‘AI’.
