1 Our Process

The Advancing AI Literacy Working Group met monthly in the 2025-26 academic year to collect and share resources related to AI literacy student learning outcomes and activities that fit within the context of information literacy instruction.  The group reviewed the literature, shared our findings, and selected the AI literacy frameworks shared within this resource as our primary source material.  We then selected student learning outcomes from these frameworks, shared our own original work, and mapped the entire collection explicitly to both the SUNY General Education Information Literacy Competency outcomes and the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy.  After an initial evaluation process, three smaller sub-groups divided the resulting source list of outcomes by their mapped GE competency, evaluated their source material, and recommended 1-2 outcomes each as representative or significant.  The majority of these outcomes are a combination or abbreviation of the original source material.

The resulting “short list” of student learning outcomes are provided here-in.  These outcomes were explicitly designed to promote core AI literacy concepts with students, within the context of information literacy and general education.  The full list of sourced student learning outcomes are also provided, for those who have the time or inclination to dive more deeply into our 59(!) favorite outcomes.  Neither set of outcomes are intended to be required, prescriptive, or enshrined; instead, we hope this will serve as a starting point or inspiration for our fellow librarians engaging in this work.

In Spring 2026, the working group continues to find ways to incorporate these concepts into our own work, including collecting and developing related activities and resources.  The results of these efforts will be shared in an OER later in 2026.
