为全校师生设计的AI通识课，提升公众对AI的理解与认知。
The Essentials of AI for Life and Society: An AI Literacy Course for the University Community
- 14周在线研讨会形式，邀请跨学科专家讲授AI基础与社会影响。
- 参与者普遍反馈AI素养显著提升，满意度高。
- 基于反馈优化为3学分课程，适合非技术背景人群学习。
我们介绍了在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校开发的一门一学分课程，旨在提升全校范围内的AI素养。面对2023年秋季快速推广课程的号召，我们设计了一门为期14周的研讨式课程，邀请跨学科讲者围绕人工智能基础、虚假信息、就业影响等议题展开讲座。该课程面向全校学生、教师、职员及校外社区成员开放，以在线形式进行。通过每周反思和期末调查收集参与者反馈，结果显示听众普遍报告了自身AI素养的提升。我们结合定量与定性分析获取批判性反馈，揭示了为广泛受众设计课程所面临的挑战。基于这些反馈，我们正筹备于2024年秋季推出三学分版本的课程。本课程的经验与未来规划可为其他面向大众的AI课程设计提供参考。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We describe the development of a one-credit course to promote AI literacy at The University of Texas at Austin. In response to a call for the rapid deployment of class to serve a broad audience in Fall of 2023, we designed a 14-week seminar-style course that incorporated an interdisciplinary group of speakers who lectured on topics ranging from the fundamentals of AI to societal concerns including disinformation and employment. University students, faculty, and staff, and even community members outside of the University, were invited to enroll in this online offering: The Essentials of AI for Life and Society. We collected feedback from course participants through weekly reflections and a final survey. Satisfyingly, we found that attendees reported gains in their AI literacy. We sought critical feedback through quantitative and qualitative analysis, which uncovered challenges in designing a course for this general audience. We utilized the course feedback to design a three-credit version of the course that is being offered in Fall of 2024. The lessons we learned and our plans for this new iteration may serve as a guide to instructors designing AI courses for a broad audience.
