The project aimed to address the digital divide and lack of knowledge surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI). This was done by creating an online course designed to provide a basic understanding of AI and its practical applications. ​The course was designed for individuals with limited digital literacy skills and focused on simplicity and user-friendliness. The course was evaluated for usability and learning effectiveness with a total of 16 participants (n = 16) The usability testing showed positive results, with participants successfully completing tasks and providing feedback on areas for improvement. ​In terms of learning, the evaluation demonstrated an increase in knowledge and understanding of AI among participants. Overall, the course received positive feedback in terms of design, user-friendliness, and effectiveness. The instructional design process highlighted the importance of clear explanations, systematic learning, and user-centered design in creating effective instructional materials. ​
