This toolkit is designed to help faculty build AI literacy and reflect on how generative AI intersects with teaching and learning. Think of it less as a definitive guide and more as a starting point—a foundation for ongoing, shared conversation (shameless plug: join our statewide Community of Practice, CoPAi).
The resources here introduce generative AI and offer ideas for adapting to its impacts on teaching and learning. You are not required to integrate AI into your courses—that choice rests with each of us. At the same time, we share a responsibility to help students navigate this rapidly evolving technology and support them in developing their own AI literacy.
The definitions, examples, and resources will change often—that’s expected. AI literacy isn’t about memorizing jargon or chasing the latest tools. It’s about cultivating critical thinking, making informed choices, and shaping an ethical and responsible relationship with AI, whether or not you use it directly in your work.
As faculty, we collectively carry the responsibility to prepare students for these changes. Doing so requires strengthening our own understanding of AI, its possibilities, and its limitations. This toolkit is one step toward that goal.
If you have resources or feedback to contribute, please share them with us at idservices@lanecc.edu so we can continue to grow this toolkit together.
