It includes 5 articles:

  1. The Right to Transparency and “”Notice””
  2. The Right to Human Oversight and Appeal
  3. The Right to Data Sovereignty and Intellectual Property
  4. The Right of all Students to Safely Use AI
  5. The Right to Share in AI and its Benefits

If you have been wondering about student voice in the AI in Education conversation, this document is a great place to start thinking about student perspectives. What do you think a Faculty AI Bill of Rights would look like?

  1. Instructor aids (e.g., lesson planning, teaching support)
  2. Student exercises (activities that guide learning or reflection)
  3. Other prompts (general-purpose uses)

The goal is to help users get better, more structured outputs from AI by using well-designed prompt templates. All prompts are openly licensed (Creative Commons), meaning they can be reused and adapted with attribution.

We routinely ask students to use a formal citation style when referencing sources in their work, but have you ever explicitly explained to them why?

In a post-truth information landscape, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish credible information from cherry-picked facts and polished, convincing interpretations, especially as generative AI makes sophisticated-sounding misinformation easier to produce and harder to detect. Now more than ever, our students need to be able to question the veracity of claims and follow evidence back to its source. Citation practices are a foundational skill for doing exactly that, yet we often assign them without explanation.

In a post-truth information landscape, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish credible information from cherry-picked facts and polished, convincing interpretations, especially as generative AI makes sophisticated-sounding misinformation easier to produce and harder to detect. Now more than ever, our students need to be able to question the veracity of claims and follow evidence back to its source. Citation practices are a foundational skill for doing exactly that, yet we often assign them without explanation.

This is where the “curse of expertise” can work against us. Having long internalized both the importance of citations and the logic behind their formatting, we may forget what it was like before we understood these things. What feels obvious to us as academics is not obvious to students encountering scholarly conventions for the first time.

Consider being intentional about making the purpose visible. Explain to your students why you require citations, how a standardized format makes it possible for anyone, including them, to quickly locate and verify a source, and how these same habits of source-checking apply to the information they encounter in their everyday lives. Connecting citation practice to real-world information literacy can transform it from a formatting chore into a genuinely transferable skill.

]]> Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Labor announced the launch of “Make America AI-Ready,” a free artificial intelligence literacy course that will help American workers learn the basics of AI simply by texting “READY” to 20202.

The course is uniquely designed to deliver bite-sized learning content and daily challenges to users entirely over text message. Users can complete the course in seven days by engaging for just 10 minutes a day. The text message-based design is intended to be as accessible as possible to all Americans, including those without a laptop or with limited access to the internet.

The course engages participants with daily content that directly aligns with the five foundational areas outlined in the Labor Department’s recently-released .
