Artificial Intelligence (AI) made a definite splash in higher education over the past two years providing opportunities to transform how we teach students. We’ve noticed that students don’t wait to learn about ethics, privacy concerns, or best practices of AI use before incorporating it into their lives. This gap presents a place to intervene and teach AI literacy in our courses. In this presentation, we share how we designed our course “Arts&Sci 3120: Information, Citizenship, & Social Justice” using open pedagogy for a semester-long Pressbooks project and how we incorporate two scaffolded AI assignments that students might use for the content they create for their chapter. Our course assignments use several tools throughout the semester like H5P, Hypothes.is, goblin.tools, AI generative tools, and Pressbooks. Attendees leave equipped with ideas for integrating AI and Open Pedagogy into their teaching practices and templates for replicating our AI assignments at their institutions.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Cultivate strategies that embrace open pedagogy when integrating AI tools into assignments, fostering critical thinking and responsible engagement with AI technologies within teaching practices.
- Reflect on personal teaching practices and pedagogical approaches to effectively integrate AI literacy into instruction.
- Understand how to scaffold an open pedagogy project throughout a course while using AI as an option for students to complete course components ethically
