WCET Closer Conversation: Using the WCET AI Literacies Playbook

As generative AI reshapes the landscape of higher education, the challenge isn’t just adopting new tools—it’s redesigning our teaching, services, and policies to ensure human agency remains at the center.

Join the contributors of the WCET AI Literacies Playbook for an interactive discussion on how institutions can move from reactive experimentation to strategic, values-driven implementation. This session will explore the “AI literacies” necessary for faculty, staff, and leaders to collaborate across roles and make transparent, ethical choices about data and tools.

Drawing on the WCET AI Education Policy, Guideline, and Practice Ecosystem Framework, our discussion leaders will guide participants in grounding AI practice in the interdependent domains of pedagogy, operations, and governance.

Key Takeaways

• Holistic Institutional Alignment: Learn how to integrate AI literacies across pedagogy, operations, and governance to ensure technology strengthens learning rather than outsourcing human judgment.
• The “AI Literacies” Mindset: Shift from a single skill set to a “constellation” of eight dimensions of literacy, focusing on the ability to ask better questions, verify information, and collaborate across academic contexts.
• Framework-Driven Strategy: Discover how to apply global standards to your local campus values and constraints.
