One task per session
The hour has a single practical outcome. Extra features are parked for a later week rather than stacked into a demonstration. Participants leave having done the task, not having watched it.
Catalogue
Program catalogue
Each program uses the same operating pattern: six facilitated sessions of 45 minutes, English and French, a print pack for hosts, and a closing report. Organizations licence one program or a bundle; we operate the platform and the support line.
Design
Curriculum framework
Every session is built around four working principles. They keep the hour short, the cognitive load honest, and the practice safe for people who may be new to the device in their hands.
Spoken rehearsal
Key steps are repeated aloud by the facilitator and, where comfortable, by the group. Spoken rehearsal is more durable than a slide deck for this audience and it gives hosts a script they can reuse in the room.
A bounded sandbox
Practice happens in a closed exercise or a throwaway account, not in a live banking, health or family thread. The sandbox is explained at the start of each program so nobody has to guess what is “real.”
Ten minutes at home
A single short practice is set between sessions. It is optional, printable, and designed so a person without a helper at home can still complete it. Completions are counted; they are not graded.
Program
Foundations of Everyday AI
This is the default first program for a network that has not yet offered structured AI literacy. It is written for people who have used a search engine and a video call but who have not been asked to judge a generated answer. The tone is explanatory, not promotional, and the failures of the tools are taught with the same weight as the successes.
- What a generative model is, in ordinary language
- How a chat assistant differs from a search engine
- Where these systems invent, omit or flatten context
- How to write a prompt that can be checked
- When to stop and use a person, a form, or an official source
- How to save a useful answer without turning it into a rumour
Participants leave able to complete a short, checkable task with a chat assistant and to explain, in their own words, why an answer might be wrong. Coordinators receive attendance, task completion and the pre/post confidence items for the intake.
Program
Recognizing AI-Assisted Fraud
Financial institutions, insurers and many retirement operators ask for this program as a peer to Foundations rather than as a sequel. It treats fraud as a set of behaviours to rehearse, not as a news story. Canadian reporting routes are named; no product is endorsed.
- Voice cloning and the “family emergency” call
- Messages that mimic a bank, a government office or a courier
- Deepfake video and still images of relatives
- Second-channel verification as a standing habit
- What to keep, screenshot or write down after a suspected incident
- Where to report in Canada, and how staff should escalate
- A closing recognition exercise used in the intake report
Participants practise pausing, calling back on a known number, and declining a request for codes or remote access. Coordinators receive the recognition-exercise summary in addition to the standard participation pack.
Program
AI for Health Navigation
Health networks and community-care agencies use this program beside existing navigation and wellness offers. The boundary is stated in every session: the tool helps a person prepare; it does not diagnose, triage or replace a clinician. Facilitators are scripted to redirect medical questions.
- Preparing a short list of questions before an appointment
- Unpacking terms from a discharge or clinic letter
- Medication reminder patterns that do not alter a prescription
- Finding official sources rather than generated summaries
- Sharing notes with a caregiver without posting them publicly
- What the tool must never be asked to decide
Participants leave with a reusable appointment-prep sheet. Coordinators receive participation data and a note of how many learners completed the prep-sheet task. Clinical outcomes are not measured and are not claimed.
Program
Voice Assistants and the Connected Home
The program is written for people who already own, or are being offered, a speaker, tablet or television with a microphone. It treats convenience and privacy as a single subject. Settings are demonstrated slowly, then repeated on paper.
- Waking a device without shouting
- Large type, captions and reduced motion
- Calling a stored contact without dialling
- Timers, lists and weather without opening an account maze
- Microphone mute, history deletion and household sharing
- When to unplug or switch a device off
Participants complete a privacy-settings checklist. Coordinators receive completion of that checklist plus attendance. Device brands are used only as examples; the licence does not require a named vendor.
Program
Staying in Touch: Photos, Video and Translation
Libraries, municipalities and retirement operators often choose this program for people whose first goal is family contact rather than “learning AI.” The tools are treated as means. Every exercise can be finished on a tablet with a modest connection.
- Joining a video call and leaving it cleanly
- Turning captions on and checking the language
- Finding, grouping and backing up photographs
- Writing a short message and using translation with care
- Avoiding public posting when a private send was intended
- Asking for help without handing over the device
Participants complete one live or recorded call practice and one photo-sort task. Coordinators see which tasks were finished. The program does not require social-media accounts.
Program
Privacy, Consent and Your Data
This program is frequently paired with the fraud course in banks, credit unions, insurers and pension administrations. It is slower than a typical “cyber hygiene” briefing and assumes that permissions screens are visually dense. Passphrases and two-factor authentication are practised, not only described.
- What leaves a device when a cloud service is used
- Accounts, recovery emails and shared family logins
- Passphrases instead of short recycled passwords
- Two-factor authentication with a phone or printed codes
- Reviewing and revoking application permissions
- Saying no to a permission that is not needed for the task
- What consent looks like when a relative offers to “set it up”
Participants complete a permissions-review task. Coordinators receive that completion rate with the standard report. No vendor security product is required.
Operations
Facilitator toolkit
Client staff who host a room or a drop-in do not need to become instructors. The toolkit is written so a recreation lead, a branch educator or a librarian can keep the social order of the session while Aiforseniorslife leads the content.
The pack includes a method booklet, session-by-session scripts, printed memory sheets for participants, a staff briefing of no more than thirty minutes, and a checklist for the room or device cart. The checklist covers seating, lighting, captions, spare chargers, and what to do if a tablet fails mid-session. Hosts are asked not to improvise medical, legal or product advice; the scripts hold those boundaries.
French and English packs are issued as separate files so a bilingual site does not have to split a mixed document on the day. Updates to a module trigger a dated revision of the relevant script, not a silent change.
Licensing
Licensing tiers
Prices are quoted per intake after scoping. The public catalogue does not list fees because cohort size, language split, facilitation load and reporting depth change the work. Three tiers describe the usual shape of a licence.
Pilot cohort
One program, one intake, typically 12 to 40 learners, used to test devices, staffing and the report pack before a wider roll-out. Support and weekly summaries are included. The term covers the intake plus the 90-day recording window. Quoted per intake after scoping.
Department licence
A single department, branch or home running repeated intakes of one or two programs over an agreed term. A named coordinator, a facilitator toolkit and closing reports for each intake are included. Quoted per intake after scoping.
Network licence
Multiple sites sharing one curriculum, a common calendar and a combined report suitable for a board or grant file. English and French can run in parallel. Implementation planning and document packs for procurement are included. Quoted per intake after scoping.
Adaptation
Custom modules
Sector language can be added without breaking the six-session spine. A credit union may want a module that names the second-channel habit in branch terms. A health network may want the appointment-prep sheet aligned to its existing navigation pamphlets. A municipality may want library-card login as the worked example instead of a personal email.
Custom work is scoped in writing: which session is altered, which print sheet changes, and whether the change is network-wide or site-specific. We do not insert advertising, product placement or unrelated partner content. If a requested change would weaken an accessibility or safety boundary, we decline it and say so in the scoping note.
Turnaround for a modest language adaptation is measured in weeks, not in a same-week rewrite. The standard programs remain available unchanged while a custom module is prepared.
