This resource features interactive content, specific classroom examples, reflection questions, and hands-on activities to help faculty develop AI literacy and make intentional, informed course design decisions that cultivate students’ AI literacy. AI literacy is not just about using tools—it's about understanding the limits and potential that shape learning in the age of AI.
