To be frank, I am less interested in the evaluation (n=36) of this three-course program than I am in the design. The paper (15 page PDF) begins with a conception of AI as having three major aspects: a cognitive aspect, which involves knowing about machine learning and neural networks; an affective aspect, in which participants gain confidence working with AI applications; and a sociocultural aspect, which includes an awareness of ethical issues in AI. The three courses were: machine learning, deep learning, and developing AI applications. Through analysis of participants' interviews and self-reflective writings, the conceptual structure of the program (illustrated here) was developed. Interesting, useful.
