  • LESSON 1 - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOUNDATIONS FOR BROADENING CULTURAL HORIZONS

    Teaching in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

    What role do we assign to artificial intelligence in education? This lesson introduces the concept of critical digital literacy to address key questions about teaching in the era of AI: how these systems work, what promises they bring, their limitations, and the tensions that generate when they enter the classroom.

    Far from offering absolute truths, this approach invites us to consider AI through a critical and ethical lens, centering the teacher's role, pedagogical mediation, and human agency. What do we want to use AI for? Which decisions are we unwilling to delegate?

    At the end of the lesson, you will be asked to answer a few questions. The answers will be graded, and completing this activity is required to finish the course.
