Spring 2026 Fusion Lab Events
Check out and join us for Spring 2026 Fusion Lab events!
This toolkit is designed to support AI literacy and help us reflect on how generative AI intersects with teaching and learning. Think of it less as a definitive guide and more as a starting point or a foundation for ongoing conversation.
The resources here introduce generative AI and offer ideas and recommendations for adapting to its impacts in teaching and learning. You are not required to integrate AI into your courses or workflow; that choice rests with each of us. At the same time, we share the responsibility to support students in navigating this rapidly evolving technology and help them develop their own AI literacy.
The definitions, examples, and resources will continue to change. AI literacy isn’t about memorizing jargon or chasing the latest tools. It’s about cultivating critical thinking, making informed choices, and shaping an ethical and responsible relationship with AI, whether or not you use it directly in your work.
We collectively carry the responsibility to prepare students for these changes. Doing so requires strengthening our own understanding of AI, its possibilities, and its limitations. We hope this toolkit is one step toward that goal.

Additional Resources
Oregon State University Ecampus. Artificial Intelligence tools – Faculty Support
This resource offers faculty a principles-driven framework, including ethical guidelines, a decision tree, Bloom’s Taxonomy adaptations, and support tools like the AI Resilience Tracker, to guide responsible integration of generative AI into course development and online teaching, emphasizing transparency, equity, privacy, and instructor accountability.
Mollick, E. (2024). Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI. (Penguin Random House).
Mollick invites us to embrace AI not as a threat, but as a collaborative ally, like a co-worker, coach, or co-teacher, offering a thoughtful, optimistic, and practical guide to integrating generative AI into work and learning without losing our identity or critical agency.
Watson, C. E. (2024). Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning.
Johns Hopkins University Press. In this guide offers practical strategies for educators navigating the integration of AI tools in the classroom, balancing innovation with academic integrity and learner-centered pedagogy.
AI Disclosure Statement:
This toolkit and its resources were developed in collaboration with AI (mostly ChatGPT5 and NotebookLM (Gemini 2.5)). They were used as collaborative partners to spark ideas, refine content, cut down on repetition, and make the language clearer and more connected. In some cases, AI was used to generate alternative formats to content (audio & video overviews by NotebookLM) while Gemini provides a GEM (customized bot) trained on the resources within the toolkit.
A human originated all original ideas, text, research questions, and made all the final decisions and design of this toolkit. They hope it is a helpful resource for you. If not - let's get it right! idservices@lanecc.edu
