AI Literacy Module in Canvas Commons

The Oxy Librarians created a stand-alone Canvas module on AI Literacy to provide students with an overview of generative AI technology and encourage critical thinking around generative AI use. Titled "AI Literacy at Oxy," the module takes about 45 minutes for a student to complete, including four short Knowledge Check quizzes.

Faculty can embed the module into their own Canvas courses using the Canvas Commons.

To get to Canvas Commons, log into Canvas and then click on the "Commons" button on the left-hand side menu.
