In a recent webinar, host Brett Christie, Ph.D., guided attendees through the LEAD AI Literacy Framework – designed to empower educators to use AI effectively, ethically, and responsibly. The session highlighted practical strategies and tools to empower faculty, administrators, and academic leaders in navigating the rapidly evolving role of AI in higher education.

Key Takeaways from the Session

Introducing  the Framework: The LEAD AI Literacy Framework focuses on four foundational pillars—awareness, application, accountability, and adaptation. Each pillar was explored in depth, providing participants with a roadmap to enhance AI literacy at their institutions.

Hands-On Resources: Participants gained access to micro-lessons and an Institutional AI Literacy Playbook in a resource Collection tailored for educators. These tools aim to streamline the integration of AI into teaching practices while ensuring inclusivity and equity.

Collaborative Reflection and Engagement: The session included live polls and opportunities for reflection, encouraging attendees to assess their current AI literacy levels. A vibrant discussion among participants fostered shared learning and exchange of best practices across diverse institutions.

Building Toward the Future: Attendees explored practical strategies for adapting AI practices to meet the needs of an evolving educational landscape. The conversation emphasized maintaining academic integrity, supporting student success, and preparing for workforce demands.

Why It Matters

With AI becoming increasingly central to education, fostering a culture of literacy and informed adoption is crucial. The LEAD AI Literacy Framework and Institutional AI Literacy Playbook equip institutions with the tools and strategies needed to move from awareness to meaningful adaptation, creating a foundation for both immediate and long-term success.
