AI Literacy in Teaching and Learning: A Durable Framework for Higher Education
This comprehensive AI literacy framework, developed by EDUCAUSE, addresses the need for institutions to adapt to the rapidly evolving landscape of AI. The framework equips students, faculty, and staff to engage effectively and ethically with AI technologies in academic and professional contexts.
The framework emphasizes proactive fostering of AI literacy to mitigate risks, maximize potential, and maintain a competitive edge. It emphasizes responsible AI use, addressing issues such as bias, privacy, and data security.
Recommendations include adopting and adapting this framework to institutional needs, developing comprehensive training programs, integrating AI literacy into existing curricula, establishing policies for responsible AI use, fostering continuous learning, and regularly assessing AI literacy initiatives.
By implementing this ALTL framework, institutions can lead in AI integration in education, preparing their communities to thrive in an AI-driven world while upholding ethical standards and fostering critical thinking.
