The OU Framework for the Learning and Teaching of Critical AI Literacy Skills
I found this a really helpful approach from the Open University. Firstly, identify the elements of critical digital literacy the institution wants staff and students to cultivate:
Then offer staff a practical list of the actions associated with each of the elements, such as those listed for AI ethics in the report:
- Use key criteria to evaluate AI tools (e.g. functionality, accessibility, privacy,
security, copyright). - Engage with ethical issues related to AI, such as bias, deepfakes, copyright
infringement, data security and privacy, with a focus on AI- based creativity. - Consciously take account of ethical issues by acting in a way that promotes responsible use of AI, e.g. asking for consent before using personal data,
refraining from spreading misinformation.
I think this is how you integrate programme development and staff development. The criteria can provide ILOs which can be incorporated into programme development (i.e. what does ’embedding critical AI literacy’ into teaching actually mean?) while also providing workable objectives for staff development.

there's links in the article encouraging you to join in our actions & support us.the #OU is the biggest online university on the planet, & we're probably the smallest protest group against #warcrimes & genocide so your help is very much appreciated!

Informed comments are welcome as this document has been conceived as a 'living document' responsive to change in an evolving tech landscape.

Imagine parting the veils of clouds that obscure Venus, and seeing through the crustal basalts to understand the mantle beneath. This is the journey Julia Semprich (@planetju) took us on as the Mineralogical Society of America Distinguished Lecturer.

Having a good #LineManager in #HigherEducation is an absolute boon & game changer.
After decades of VERY poor, uninspiring, useless and professionally & mentally damaging line management in #UK #universities, I had absolutely no idea of what a good line manager actually does.
They:
#listen
#care
#trust
#suggest
#MakeEnquiries
#Facilitate
#KeepInTouch
#remember
#share
#explain
#motivate
#encourage
#inform
#LeadByExampleSimilar to my exceptional #PhD #supervisors.
Thank you #OpenUniversity

Time for an #introduction. I’m Damien, originally from #TheLiberties in #Dublin #Ireland - moved to #Cambridge for six months after the first dot com bubble burst. That was twenty years ago.
Used to be a #ReleaseEngineer but had a weird reaction to #burnout and did an MSc in #Psychology with the #openuniversity. Now I handle engineering strategy for a Fintech but my focus is always on how we can build #humane and #empowering systems to help people work better together.
