Location: In-person, MC 2036
Facilitators: Kristin Brown and Victoria Feth
Description
Conversations about the role and impact of AI in education are multi-layered, contentious, and evolving. The range of AI adoption and integration is vast among instructors and students, and therefore it is necessary to create space within classes to critically engage with AI. Using University of Saskatchewan’s AI Literacy Framework as a foundation, this workshop presents five key dimensions of AI literacy (understanding AI and data; critical thinking and judgment; ethical and responsible use; human-centricity, relationality, and creativity; and domain expertise). As a practical component, participants will share and reflect on examples specific to their teaching context.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify key dimensions of AI literacy related to teaching and learning.
- Consider strategies for integrating opportunities for students to critically engage with AI in your teaching context.
- Appreciate that diverse perspectives related to AI may emerge in teaching and learning communities.
Note: This workshop provides opportunities for small group and large group discussions. Participants are welcome to participate by listening, thinking about examples, and/or contributing to conversations throughout.
