An AI Literacy Module for Students Across the Disciplines
Presented by Alana Kuhlman, Associate Teaching Professor, English
As a relatively new and constantly emerging technology, students tend to have varying levels of knowledge about generative AI and its ethical and appropriate use inside and outside of the classroom. Likewise, faculty may exhibit similar discrepancies in generative AI knowledge, usage, and classroom instruction/integration. This TRAIL project aimed to fill these gaps by developing a generative AI literacy module for students that was piloted in ENG 100 and ENG 405–writing support courses offered by the Lumberjack Writing Center–and by sharing this module for possible use with faculty across the disciplines. This presentation will provide an overview of the module and the results of an IRB-approved study that explored students’ and Writing Assistants (tutors) experiences with the AI module and any perceived benefits.
