Introduction
The aim of this tutorial is to equip learners with a critical understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with a focus on Generative AI (GAI). It seeks to build not only technical proficiency but also adaptability to apply knowledge of AI literacy in real-world context for problem-solving whilst being aware of ethical practices. Co-designed with students, the LEAP Online team and researchers in learning and information technologies, this framework with its four-step approach (i) Prepare (ii) Understand (iii) Apply (iv) Responsible use, ensures that learners build on their existing academic, ICT and digital literacy skills as they progress through foundational, in-depth, practical and responsible aspects of AI technologies integration for learning, research and professional development. Engaging with each of the four core elements is essential for building a comprehensive awareness of AI.
By working through the framework, which is designed to be a guide and a catalyst for thoughtful, responsible and innovative engagement with AI, learners can expect to develop five key GAME attributes – Adaptability, Lifelong Learning, Problem Solving, Self-Awareness and Confidence. These attributes are essential for navigating complexities of AI, enabling individuals to continuously adapt to technological advancements, solve emerging challenges, maintain a reflective understanding of their role in a tech-driven world, and confidently apply their skills in diverse settings.
