Work in progress: the Learner's Permit and Commercial License curricula
Session 3

Cross-campus collaboration and AI FYE grant development
9:30–10:30 AM · Zoom · No preparation required
I'm developing open AI literacy curriculum as part of my SUNY AI for the Public Good Fellowship — and I'd like your perspective on it while it's still being built.
These three sessions are part presentation, part reflection, part conversation. I'll share the frameworks and materials I've developed so far; you'll help me understand what holds up, what's missing, and what's usable on your campus.
Materials we'll discuss
RTW
A definition of AI literacy grounded in reading, thinking, and writing — designed to anchor course and assignment design across disciplines
LP
AI Literacy — Learner's Permit: a 5-hour certificate giving students permission to use generative AI in courses that permit and require it
CDL
AI Literacy — Commercial License: a 15-hour certificate for students ready to work with agentic AI systems
Everything is open. If something works for your campus, take it, adapt it, use it. Your reflection in these sessions is part of what shapes the final versions.
Join us
Open to SUNY AI Fellows and faculty across SUNY campuses. All three sessions are independent — come to one or all. Meeting link to follow.
