AI Literacies for Open Educators: An Exploration

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming education, bringing both opportunities and challenges for open educators. This interactive workshop, hosted by Dr Doug Belshaw and Dr Angela Gunder, explores a plurality of “AI Literacies” for understanding and applying AI within open education.

Drawing from the recently-published paper– part of MIT’s AI and Open Education Initiative–  AI Literacies and the Advancement of Opened Culture: Global Perspectives and Practices, the session will provide a structured introduction to AI literacies. The hosts will then guide participants through a discussion around the ethical, technical, and pedagogical implications for open educators using generative AI. 

Finally, participants will be encouraged to add any relevant openly-licensed resources to an open access repository.

Key takeaways for participants:

• A practical understanding of AI literacies as they apply to open education.
• An approach to help co-create definitions and frameworks relating to AI literacies in specific contexts.
• Access to an open repository of AI and open education resources.
