ALG Tutor Orientation – Phase One is a foundational course designed to align approved instructors with ALG’s teaching standards, ethical framework, and future-focused approach to technology education.
This course exists to ensure that every tutor on ALG understands not just what to teach, but how and why technology should be applied in today’s world. As technology increasingly shapes businesses, education, and societies, tutors carry a responsibility to communicate concepts clearly, apply tools ethically, and guide learners toward real-world solutions.
The first section introduces the global context of technology, including the role of the United Nations and how innovation connects to sustainable development. Tutors will explore the value of technology beyond tools—understanding systems, leverage, and long-term impact. Foundational concepts such as algorithms are explained in clear, non-technical terms to ensure instructors can teach across diverse audiences.
The second section focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Tutors gain a practical understanding of what AI is, how it is used in modern technology, and how it can be applied to solve business and societal problems. Emphasis is placed on responsible AI usage, especially within emerging markets, and on teaching AI as a support system—not a replacement for human judgment.
The final section is a practical project phase. Tutors select an ALG-aligned project category, design a solution using technology or AI, and execute a simple but meaningful project. To complete the course, tutors submit a short video explaining their process, decisions, and outcomes. This ensures clarity of thought, communication ability, and applied understanding.
By completing this course, tutors demonstrate readiness to teach on ALG with confidence, integrity, and real-world relevance. Successful participants are cleared to progress to advanced teaching phases and live instruction opportunities.
This course includes 3 modules, 12 lessons, and 0:15 hours of materials.
Help tutors understand how technology intersects with global development, ethics, and sustainability. The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. This video was made possible thanks to Eleven Labs, a text to speech & AI voice generator we highly recommend.
Imagine a world where artificial intelligence predicts natural disasters days in advance, drones deliver vaccines to remote villages within hours, and blockchain ensures every dollar of humanitarian aid reaches its destination transparently. This isn't science fiction—this is technology meeting necessity. As the world faces unprecedented global challenges—climate change, pandemics, food insecurity, inequality, and displacement—technology has emerged not merely as a convenience but as a critical catalyst for survival, resilience, and equity. In the 21st century, innovation is no longer just about gadgets or growth—it's about global good. Let's explore how technology, when leveraged with intent and inclusivity, can help solve the defining problems of our time.
This video covers the world in 2050 and its future technologies. Major trends shaping the future (AI, automation, data, remote work), the shift from manual work to intelligent systems; teaching students how to think, not just what to use. This video is brought to you by Future Business Tech
These are questions for the basic Foundation section.
What is AI? How AI Works | A Layman’s Guide to Artificial Intelligence (2025) AI for Beginners Have you ever wondered if the terrifying AI from movies like Terminator or The Matrix could actually become real? Or are you just curious how tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Alexa, or even your phone’s camera know exactly what to do? In this video, we break down how Artificial Intelligence really works—without any jargon. Whether you're a total beginner or someone who's simply curious, this is the most simplified, clear, and engaging guide to understanding AI today.
Building a million-dollar business doesn’t require a huge team anymore. I’ll show you 15 AI tools that I’m using inside my companies to get more done with fewer people. These are practical, real-world tools, not the same boring ChatGPT tutorials. This is how to win in the new era of AI.
From ancient math to modern AI, algorithms have quietly shaped our world for thousands of years. In this video, we uncover their origins, evolution, and the surprising ways they influence everyday life.
From the physical world to the virtual world, algorithms are seemingly everywhere. David J. Malan, Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University, has been challenged to explain the science of algorithms to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.
Assessment Questions for Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms
Before joining our network of tutors, you must demonstrate that you are not only technically capable, but also educationally effective and impact-driven. This assessment is not a certification exercise. It is your proof of capability, clarity, and consequence.
This document serves as a foundational resource for researchers, students, developers, policymakers, and organizations looking to leverage the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence to accelerate progress toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The projects are categorized by the primary SDG they address, offering a clear framework for selection and implementation.
This integrated assessment evaluates your ability to identify a real-world problem and develop an intelligent solution while demonstrating clear teaching methodology. You will deliver a 40-minute live video presentation showcasing: 1) a specific problem connected to sustainable development (you can choose one from the 250 samples), your technical solution using AI/algorithms, and the architecture behind it; and 2) how you would teach this solution to others, including your approach to explanation, engagement, and impact measurement. You must submit a working prototype, documented code (only for developers), a lesson outline, and an impact statement. The assessment is graded out of 100 points, requires a 70 to pass, and allows two re-assessments attempt after feedback.
