This report presents a comprehensive framework for AI Literacy in Teaching and Learning (ALTL) in higher education, addressing the need for institutions to adapt to the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI). The framework equips students, faculty, and staff to engage effectively and ethically with AI technologies in academic and professional contexts.
ALTL involves understanding AI fundamentals, critically evaluating AI applications, and maintaining vigilance against misuse and bias. The framework provides tailored definitions, competencies, and outcomes for students, faculty, and staff, focusing on four key areas: Technical Understanding, Evaluative Skills, Practical Application, and Ethical Considerations.
For students, ALTL emphasizes understanding and ethically applying AI in academic contexts. The focus for faculty is on integrating AI in teaching, research, and administrative responsibilities. Staff concentrate on supporting AI implementation in administrative and operational processes.
