TLS 611 – AI Literacies: Frameworks for Teaching and Learning
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we learn, teach, explore, research, and create--yet most educators using AI tools lack genuine AI literacies. This graduate seminar addresses the critical gap between widespread AI adoption and actual understanding of how to use AI effectively, ethically, and creatively in educational, K-12, and community contexts. Rather than treating AI literacies as a separate technical skill, this course positions it as an evolutionary integration of existing human literacies: from foundational competencies (reading, writing, critical thinking) through digital transformation (online communication, data interpretation) to sophisticated human-AI collaboration.
