This three-workshop series, facilitated by Tom Driscoll, is about what an AI policy for adult learners in literacy could look like. We will look at how to work with learners to create a policy that offers guidance for using AI ethically and safely to do research, make material more accessible and support creativity, communication and collaboration. 

Topic that will be discussed:

• the purpose and goals of AI use in the classroom

• what are ethical and purposeful uses of AI in education by teachers and by learners

• how to plan the key areas where AI will be used by educators (e.g., activity creation, assessment, feedback) and the potential impacts

• how to plan the key areas where AI will be used by learners (e.g., homework help, content creation, research assistance) and the potential impacts

• draft guidelines that address how AI should be used responsibly, ethically, and effectively

• strategies for collaborative guideline development
