Description¶

The article recommends that institutions fund AI literacy initiatives that embed AI ethics in curricula and redesign assessment for ethical and effective AI use. It states "Institutions could fund AI literacy initiatives, integrating AI ethics into curricula and adapting assessments for ethical and effective AI use." This responds to the study's finding that teachers' concerns centre on student misuse and integrity risks.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Institutional funding for AI literacy initiatives
• Curriculum and assessment revision capacity

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• Teachers
• Students using GenAI

Target Learning Goals¶

• AI literacy
• Ethical and effective AI use

Related Strategies¶

• Share discipline-specific GenAI examples aligned with instructional needs to improve teacher adoption
• Tailor institutional GenAI training to teachers' prior GenAI use experience
• Embed GenAI literacy and ethical use directly in nursing curricula rather than prohibiting it
• Embed AI training for pre-service science teachers within science pedagogy and inquiry-based teaching rather than general tool operation
• Integrate AI into nursing curricula through AI-supported case discussions, structured clinical learning activities, and AI literacy training tailored to user groups
• Embed AI policy literacy, peer-led communities of practice, and shared AI resources into professional development
• Embed AI literacy across disciplines by identifying intersections with existing content and using case studies, interdisciplinary modules, and collaborative projects
• Integrate AI literacy into health sciences curricula and tailor career counselling to programme type
• Pursue inclusive digital strategies, educator professional development, and ethical AI governance for AI in adult education
• Address generative AI in higher education through assessment redesign and proportional reflective practices rather than surveillance or punitive controls
• Strategies for integrating GenAI in STEAM teaching: outcome-anchored lesson planning, differentiation, inquiry and project variants, assessment redesign, and integrity as pedagogy
• Embed AI literacy as a credit-bearing module and design adaptive systems with transparent, user-controllable recommendation interfaces
• Strengthen institutional policies, ethics education, verification, disclosure, and data protection to support ethical GenAI use
• Embed critical AI literacy into curricula and institutional practices in higher education
• Embed structured AI literacy in business curricula: teach verification, comparison, and transparent AI-use declarations rather than restricting or unrestrictedly encouraging GenAI
• Integrate AI literacy, digital skill development, and technology-focused career planning into coursework, with targeted support for higher-anxiety groups
• Strategic steps to move beyond informal AI innovation: recognise redesign in workload models, embed innovation in promotion criteria, set institutional AI principles, redesign assessment, and fund scaling pilots
• Embed GenAI into existing pedagogical strategies instead of undertaking full curriculum redesign
• Embed AIL across disciplines by adding modules to existing Digital Literacy courses and offering interdisciplinary AI ethics and legal seminars
