Overview

This learning lab is designed to assist educators in gaining a practical understanding of how to develop AI literacy in themselves and their students. Based on the Scaffolded AI Literacy (SAIL) Framework, developed by the lab facilitators, this experience explores how the concepts of AI, their related conceptual and applied skills, and the components of AI digital citizenship, can be developed. The course will integrate and explore a range of AI tools, including large language models, image generators, research tools, and applications with an educational focus. Participants will investigate the pros and cons of AI for teaching, learning, and assessment, applying a critical mindset to issues such as ethical challenges, data privacy, and academic integrity. AI literacy will be applied as the foundation for developing AI usage guidance for learners and helping them comply with that guidance.
