Overview

This Learning Lab empowers instructional designers, faculty developers, teaching and learning center staff, and educators of all experience levels to cultivate AI literacies essential for transforming teaching, course design, and assessment. Participants will explore eight key dimensions of AI literacies and apply them to develop inclusive, adaptive, and engaging learning experiences tailored to today’s diverse student needs.

The Lab blends interactive live sessions, hands-on activities, and discussions, focused on learning through doing. Participants will work with generative AI tools in real-time to design, facilitate, and evaluate instructional modules, gaining practical skills and immediate feedback. Throughout, they’ll exchange ideas, insights, and strategies with their peers. The Lab culminates in a project where participants design an instructional module using AI tools, evaluate its effectiveness with a rubric and AI-based assessments, and collaboratively identify areas for improvement.

Learning Outcomes:
