Using AI to study better
Eight hours over two days, in a Learnis centre. From age eleven. No previous course required.
Two days immersive on the difference between true understanding and the appearance that a machine can produce. Learn how to leverave AI to really help your work.
Your question matters more
A student who asks an artificial intelligence to summarise a chapter gets a summary that is usually correct, often well written, and entirely someone else's. Nothing has happened inside the person. The difficulty is that it does not feel that way: a good answer produces the sensation of having understood, and the sensation arrives without the work that normally earns it. This is a new problem in education, and banning the tool does not solve it — the tool is already open on the desk at home. What changes the outcome is knowing what to ask it for, and noticing when it has quietly started doing the part that was yours.
Three functions, not a list of prompts
The course works on three ways of using the same system, and they are not interchangeable. As a teacher it explains, starting from what you already know. As a simulator it questions you and waits, which is where most people discover that what they knew was thinner than it felt. As a coach it does not touch the subject at all: it asks how you are working, where you got stuck, what you tried before. The skill is choosing between them — and recognising the moment when a tool asked to explain has started to answer instead. Everything else here follows from that: how a request is built, how an output is checked, and how you tell being given something from having understood it.
Three functions, and knowing which one you need
1
Teacher
It explains, and starts from your level rather than from the top of the subject. You learn to ask in a way that produces an explanation you can check — with examples, analogies and counterexamples — instead of one you have to take on trust. What it must not do is take over your thinking, or slide into planning your method for you.
2
Simulator
It questions you and waits for the answer, then gives you structured feedback and tells you what needs going back over. It is the least comfortable of the three and the most useful: it shows the gap between what you recognise and what you can produce. It should not hand you the solution, or turn the test back into a lesson.
3
Coach
It works on how you are working: your strategies, your errors, the conditions you study in. It asks rather than answers, and it does not explain the subject. This is the part that keeps working when the tool is not in the room.
4
Knowing which one you need
The three are only worth anything if you can tell which one the moment calls for, and if you check what comes back. The exercises run on your own material — what you actually have to study or prepare — so what you leave with is a way of working, not a folder of prompts.
What comes with this course, and what does not
This course does not carry any refund guarantee attached to it, and there is not yet a certificate or final examination.
Questions about studying with a machine
Is this a course on how to use ChatGPT?
No, and it is built so that it does not become one. What is taught here transfers between tools: how you decide what you need, how you set up the request, how you check what comes back. The exercises currently run mostly on ChatGPT and Claude is being introduced, but the course is deliberately not tied to one supplier — the tools will change and the criteria will not.
What does self-prompting mean?
Prompting is the skill of asking a machine a question precise enough to get a useful answer. The questions that work on a machine are largely the questions that work on yourself: define the term, distinguish it from the one next to it, state the step you have skipped, say it again in your own words.
Learning to interrogate the tool well trains the same operations you need without it. That transfer is the point of the path, and the reason we treat this as a learning subject.
Will it just do my homework for me?
It can, and that is the failure mode. A person who hands over the work receives a finished object and keeps nothing. The work has to stay with the person: the tool is there to make it harder in the useful sense, not to remove it.
Is this instead of a study method, or on top of one?
Either. It is an autonomous entry point: you do not need to have done LEARNIS Mind first. If you have, the two combine — artificial intelligence amplifies whatever method a person already has, so someone with a structured way of reading and organising gets considerably more out of it than someone without one.
How long is it, and where does it take place?
Eight hours over two days. You take part in person at a Learnis centre; the teaching itself is delivered remotely, while instructors and tutors are in the room with you — which matters, because most of the time is spent doing exercises rather than listening.
Can my child take part?
From the age of eleven. Under sixteen, a parent takes part alongside them and the account used during the course is created and managed by the parent, not by the child. That is not a formality: the course is about a tool the child will go on using at home, and the arrangement is there so that an adult has seen how it is meant to be used.
Is it only for students?
No. Students and working professionals both take part, and the course is relevant to teachers and parents for a different reason: they are the people who have to decide what is acceptable use, and that is hard to do without having worked with the tool.
What actually happens over the two days?
The first part is common to everyone: what artificial intelligence can and cannot do for learning, the difference between studying actively and passively, how a request is built, how you activate what you already know, how you work on comprehension and on your own glossary, and how you assess yourself. Everyone does exercises from the start.
The second part splits. If you have already done LEARNIS Mind, you work on the three functions in depth and build a personal assistant for your own studying, using the profile and the material from that course. If AIStudy is your first Learnis course, you work on the same functions and are introduced to the fundamentals the method is built on.
About two of the eight hours are given over to presenting LEARNIS Mind, with the option to enrol.
What do I need to bring?
A laptop or tablet you can work on, and your own account on a generative AI tool. A paid subscription helps but is not required to follow the course. If you are under sixteen, the account is set up and used with your parent.
Is there a certificate, or a final test?
Neither. What you can do is checked during the course, through the exercises: rewriting a weak prompt into a working one, using the simulator on your own material, testing your own definitions, comparing outputs. The two days are self-contained, with no follow-up programme afterwards.
How much does it cost?
The list price is €197, currently offered at €97. Prices are set and confirmed by the Learnis organisation in your country, which is also who you reach through the form on this page. Each participant can invite two people free of charge to a later edition.
What should I not put into the tool?
Credentials, other people's personal data, and confidential work documents — the same rule that applies to any online service you do not control. Beyond that: check what the tool tells you against a source you trust, respect copyright and whatever rules your school or profession sets, and do not use it to get around a test that exists to make you learn something. The last one is not a legal point. It is the whole subject of the course.
