Coming Soon! This training will be release in Spring of 2026.
What’s New
The CTLD has launched a new AI Literacy training designed to help students understand what generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, can and cannot do, and how to use them responsibly in academic and professional contexts. The training introduces key concepts such as bias, hallucination, overconfidence, and responsible disclosure, culminating in a personal AI use plan that students can apply across courses.
Why It Matters
Generative AI isn’t going away, and neither are the challenges it poses. Students now have powerful tools that can summarize, draft, and analyze text, but without clear guidance, they may misuse them or miss valuable learning opportunities. The AI Literacy module helps students recognize when AI supports learning and when it undermines it, giving them the awareness to make ethical, informed choices in their coursework and beyond.
Two Learning Paths
To meet the diverse needs of faculty and courses, this training offers two assessment paths, each housed in their own module for your convenience in importing this training to an existing course:
- Path A (Auto-Graded): Features quick, low-stakes knowledge checks for foundational understanding, ideal for large classes or self-paced learning.
- Path B (Instructor-Student): Includes short written responses and practical exercises that encourage deeper engagement with ethical and professional implications. This meets higher level outcomes but also requires more interaction on the part of the faculty.
Instructors can select the version that best fits their teaching style and course design. Both paths lead to the same learning outcomes: helping students develop a thoughtful, transparent, and responsible approach to AI use.
The Takeaway
This module reflects CTLD’s broader commitment to helping instructors and students navigate the realities of generative AI, not through prohibition, but through purposeful integration. By embedding AI literacy into coursework, we can move beyond fear of misuse and toward fostering ethical, future-ready learners.
