Full course description
Elevating artificial intelligence (AI) literacy positions learners at the forefront of higher education and a new era of teaching and learning. This course is designed to give participants a comprehensive overview of understanding AI and creating an AI policy to utilize with students, grounded through a narrative-driven course centered around a California Community College student persona named Marisol. Additionally, participants will learn to write better AI prompts and evaluate the results. Participants will also practice designing flexible assessments with AI support. Lastly, participants will gain knowledge about agentic AI. This course is self-paced and takes six to eight hours to engage with content pages, complete embedded activities, and complete the four quizzes designed to validate and reinforce learning.
