AI Literacy Modules

Comprehensive learning modules covering AI fundamentals, ethics, and practical applications.

ASCEND-AI Service

AI Across the Curriculum


We believe AI literacy should not be confined to computer science departments. ASCEND-AI focuses on Curriculum Integration, ensuring that students in every major encounter relevant AI concepts within their discipline.

Integration Strategies

  • Course Redesign: Revising syllabi to include AI-specific learning outcomes.

  • Assignment Innovation: Creating new types of assignments that require students to critically engage with AI tools (e.g., “AI-Assisted Writing with Critique”).

  • Assessment Reform: moving beyond traditional essays to assess the process of learning and critical thinking in the age of AI.

This approach ensures that our graduates are not just “users” of AI, but critical thinkers who can apply these tools effectively and ethically in their chosen professions.
