AI Literacies for Open Educators: An Exploration

​This event is hosted by We Are Open Co-op and Opened Culture as part of Open Education Week.

​Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming education, bringing both opportunities and challenges for open educators. This interactive workshop, hosted by Dr Doug Belshaw and Dr Angela Gunder, explores a plurality of “AI Literacies” for understanding and applying AI within open education.

​Drawing from the recently-published paper AI Literacies and the Advancement of Opened Culture: Global Perspectives and Practices, the session will provide a structured introduction to AI literacies. The hosts will then guide participants through a discussion around the ethical, technical, and pedagogical implications for open educators using generative AI. 

​We're delighted that Dr Genevieve Smith-Nunes and Dr Nicola Pallitt will be our guests and help contextualise the Dimensions of AI LIteracies.

​Participants will be encouraged to add any relevant openly-licensed resources to an open access repository. 

​Key takeaways for participants:

• ​A practical understanding of AI literacies as they apply to open education.

• ​An approach to help co-create definitions and frameworks relating to AI literacies in specific contexts.

• ​Access to an open repository of AI and open education resources.
