Welcome to AI Literacy for Educators: Supporting Student Success

Rethinking AI, integrity, and online teaching through the lens of equity and relationship—not fear and surveillance.

📘 Description

This facilitated course moves you through four connected modules, gaining new knowledge throughout each week. You will develop a shared, plain-language understanding of AI—exploring equity and bias and drafting AI-use language that aligns with your values and your students' realities; practice crafting clear, contextual prompts and evaluating AI outputs so you can model critical, ethical use; redesign an assessment to offer meaningful voice and choice while making AI-supported thinking visible and reflective; and look ahead to agentic AI, exploring realistic scenarios and sketching a hopeful action note for your own context.
