Digital Literacy materials as Open Educational Resources
In this section you will find publicly downloadable files for a variety of digital literacy resources we have created. They all have a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence.
- Artificial Intelligence and Ethical Practice in Teaching and Learning Workshop - Facilitator GuideThese are the materials associated with a one-hour workshop on artificial intelligence and ethical practice for higher education faculty, staff and students. This workshop aims to facilitate a conversation in higher education contexts about ethical ways of using AI for teaching, learning and research using three lenses: An educational lens [e.g. what is the impact of AI on teaching and learning practice?] An accessibility lens [e.g. how does AI affect accessibility of learning materials, assessment and the overall educational experience?] An information acquisition and management lens [e.g. how can we evaluate, use and trust information created using AI?] The workshop draws heavily from the Civics of Technology Project: https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/
