As generative artificial intelligence continues to impact teaching and learning on college campuses, 顶级国产视频 & Marshall is pioneering inventive ways to help students build critical literacy skills they need to compete and excel in an AI-infused society.

During the fall semester, Associate Professor of Sociology Caroline Faulkner and Senior Instructional Designer Kelly Miller offered a four-part workshop for faculty to help them guide students navigating AI for a wide variety of academic purposes. The series, 鈥淏eyond Abstinence Only: What Our Students Need to Learn About AI,鈥� focused on topics such as AI hype, AI literacy frameworks and cognitive concerns, the ethical components of AI literacy, and a look at future opportunities and challenges of AI.

Faulkner said feedback to the series was positive, with faculty saying they came away with a better understanding of how to help students critically engage with AI as a tool that can add value to F&M鈥檚 approach to the liberal arts, which develops critical skills in reading, writing, thinking, analyzing, debating, and active listening.

鈥淲e can鈥檛 say what the world will look like in five years, but I tell my students that whatever world they enter, they are going to have to be able to say that they can do something that AI can鈥檛 do,鈥� Faulkner said. 鈥淪o, it鈥檚 helpful for them to have skills to use AI with our guidance and help them understand and articulate how they add value beyond that.鈥� 

Miller characterized the sessions, each of which drew 20-30 professors, as 鈥渉ealthy conversations鈥� about AI and its role in supplementing the hands-on model of teaching and learning that is a hallmark of the F&M student experience. She pointed to , which tracks the skills employers value the most among employees. 

鈥淎ll the skills that they say they want are the skills that we give our students, skills that help them bypass entry-level jobs or climb the ladder faster or set them apart from other candidates,鈥� she said. 

Faulkner emphasized that the goal of the sessions was to nurture a constructive dialogue between faculty and students about the importance of understanding the benefits and limitations of AI as a tool.

鈥淐ritical AI literacy is something that is essential for all people,鈥� Faulkner said. 鈥淲e are moving into a world where AI is embedded in everything we do and is always an option 鈥� a fallback, or even the first option. Let鈥檚 center attention around AI ethics and provide students with opportunities to think and talk about how to use it and what they can get out of it.鈥�
