Getting Started Using AI Toolkit

A Starting Point for AI as an Educator

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing higher education, creating new opportunities and new questions for teaching and learning. 

Whether you are exploring AI for the first time or looking to expand your knowledge, this Getting Started Using AI Toolkit provides a starting point for understanding AI and its role in education. 

Getting Started Using AI Toolkit

The resources are organized around the AI Education Framework, which offers practical guidance for developing AI literacy and integrating AI thoughtfully into teaching and learning. Rather than focusing on specific AI tools, the framework emphasizes the following that will remain valuable as technology continues to evolve: foundational concepts, responsible use and effective instructional practices.

  1. 1
    Explore the AI Education Framework

    Begin by reviewing the AI Education Framework to become familiar with its organization and resources. The framework is designed to help educators build AI knowledge through short, practical modules that can be explored at your own pace.

  2. 2
    Choose Your Learning Path

    After exploring the framework, continue with the sections of this toolkit that best match your goals.

    • Using AI in Your Teaching focuses on how faculty can use AI to support course design, instructional materials, assessment, and teaching workflows. 
    • Helping Students Use AI explores strategies for teaching AI literacy, establishing classroom expectations, and helping students use AI responsibly and ethically. 

  3. 3
    Continue Learning

    Developing confidence with AI is an iterative process. As your teaching goals evolve and your experience grows, revisit the framework to reflect on your practice, refine your approaches, and identify new opportunities to thoughtfully integrate AI into your courses.
