Tertiary AI Learning Pathways

A collection of learning pathways for tertiary educators exploring AI literacy, confidence, and cultural integrity in practice. This course is part of AI for Good, a framework for growing professional practice that centres AI fluency in ako, whanaungatanga, and mana-enhancing learning, while building the confidence, capability, and shared responsibility we need for ethical AI use.
