What are AI Literacy Modules?
Your students are using AI in their studies, but are they using it responsibly? The question for departments is how to set clear, consistent expectations for responsible use — without creating additional burden for staff. Integrate AI education into your MyLab or Mastering course with Pearson’s new AI Literacy Program.
These modules are concise, flexible, and instructor-friendly, designed to fit cleanly into existing courses. Departments can assign one, two, or all three short modules to establish a shared baseline for responsible AI use. Modules are self-paced, automatically assessed, and require no additional grading or preparation from staff.
Key topics include:
- Benefits & limitations of popular AI tools
- Prompt engineering best practices
- Academic integrity & AI
- Evaluating AI output for accuracy
