An in-person institute hosted by the University of Kansas, focused on teaching critical AI literacy to secondary, community college, and college-level humanities instructors.

The AI and Digital Literacy: Toward an Inclusive and Empowering Teaching Practice (AIDL 2025) Institute will explore how to teach writing, research, and critical inquiry in the face of developing generative AI technology. Designed for secondary school, community college, and college humanities educators, this program will put teachers in conversation with top scholars who work on AI and digital literacy. The institute will offer educators resources to navigate the pedagogical and ethical challenges and opportunities posed by AI in the classroom, as well as providing opportunities to gain experience with tools and to design and/or redesign assignments and classroom exercises.
