AI Literacy Modules

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

ASCEND-AI Service

The Central Structure of ASCEND-AI


Our Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) are the heartbeat of the ASCEND-AI initiative. These communities bring together educators from diverse disciplines—Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Business—to collaboratively explore, experiment, and implement AI tools in their teaching and research.

Key Objectives

  • Collaborative Inquiry: Faculty work together to understand the implications of AI in their specific fields.

  • Resource Sharing: Developing and sharing best practices, lesson plans, and assessment strategies.

  • Mentorship: Experienced AI-integrators mentor colleagues who are new to these technologies.

  • Ethical Frameworks: establishing guidelines for responsible AI use in the classroom.

By fostering a culture of continuous learning, we ensure that our faculty remain at the forefront of educational innovation, capable of preparing students for an AI-driven world.
