Overview
Teaching AI Fluency empowers educators of all kinds to help their students develop values, judgment, and practical skills, and to foster more thoughtful approaches to human-AI collaboration.
Participants will learn four distinct approaches for helping students gain confidence and capability with the 4D Framework, multiple strategies for developing and assessing AI Fluency across disciplines, and approaches for integrating the AI Fluency Framework into discipline-specific pedagogy and curricula, all anchored in individual subject-expertise.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Explain the AI Fluency 4D Framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, and Diligence) and its role in helping students collaborate effectively, ethically, and responsibly with AI.
- Design teaching strategies and learning activities that integrate AI Fluency concepts into instructor-led courses.
- Develop assignments and assessment approaches that evaluate students’ AI Fluency, including outcome-based, process-based, and reflection-based methods.
- Adapt the AI Fluency framework to discipline-specific contexts, aligning AI use with the values, standards, and communication practices of different academic fields.
Recommended prerequisites
This course lightly covers the foundational AI Fluency concepts. However, for deeper understanding, participants should complete AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations before beginning this educator-focused curriculum.
It is also recommended that learners have active teaching or curriculum development responsibilities as well as access to an AI chat tool for hands-on practice. Examples in this course will use Claude.ai, but any chatbot will work.
