Registration is open for the Oregon State University Libraries and AI Literacy Center webinar ” A Compassionate Approach to Critical AI Literacy”. It will take place on Wednesday, July 30, at 12:00 PM CDT.
In this interactive session, participants will reflect on their own thoughts, attitudes and practices in relation to AI. We will explore different dimensions of critical AI literacies, and the importance of beginning with questioning the inequalities, biases and ethical concerns. We will also discuss ways we might approach our thinking about AI in education from a lens of compassionate learning design. Participants will have opportunities to explore concrete learning activities, as well as design their own activities for their own context based on some models to help prioritize care and equity as we choose our response to AI.
This session is for everyone along the spectrum of refusing AI, to embracing AI, and more complex positions in between. The presenter is Dr. Maha Bali, Professor of Practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at the American University in Cairo.
