Scaling AI Literacy

Georgetown University’s AI Literacy Microcredential is a self-paced, asynchronous program that seek to build participants’ ability to critically evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) tools; integrate them responsibly into teaching, research, and professional workflows; and address ethical and societal implications. Drawing on UNESCO and Educause AI literacy frameworks, the microcredential emphasizes practical skills in AI prompting, research augmentation, and data security while fostering habits of continuous learning. Recognized with both Credly digital badges and transcript annotations, the program demonstrates a scalable, transferable model for cultivating AI literacy across disciplines. In this session, we will share our design strategies, early adoption data, and examples of portfolio-based activities. Attendees will leave with actionable insights for creating microcredentials that support responsible AI integration and prepare a university community to proceed thoughtfully with AI tools for learning.
