AI-SDM Info Session Webinar: AI Literacy Curriculum

Abstract Join us for an information session detailing the AI User training curriculum, developed by the Technology for Effective and Efficient Learning (TEEL) Lab at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). This session is designed for community college leadership, administrators, and instructors looking to rapidly and effectively train their students in AI literacy. AI User is an experiential, project-based AI literacy curriculum specifically designed for learners with no prior coding or math prerequisites. The course trains individuals to be informed and critical consumers of AI—the “users” who interact with, evaluate, and rely on AI systems in their daily lives. Learn more about the curriculum, resources for instructors, professional development training, and teaching with the curriculum.
