Learning Context
Students learn what Microsoft Copilot actually is, how large language models work at a conceptual level, what makes Copilot's Microsoft ecosystem integration unique, the difference between Copilot and Bing search, and how to use the four-tier verification framework to interact with Copilot responsibly.
How this course works: each lesson explains the skill in plain language, shows a worked example, and ends with a student task you complete in Microsoft Copilot and a short quiz. The final assessment checks that you can apply the skill, not just remember it, and your saved prompts and results become reviewable training evidence.
