Title: Human-Centered AI: Redesigning Curriculum for Scalable Civic Literacy
College/Department: Journalism & Communication
Student Enrollment: 25
Course: Human-Centered AI
Proposal: COMM 351, "Human-Centered AI," is evolving from a small-scale seminar into a more scalable model to accommodate 25 students. This redesign prioritizes civic impact through community-participatory projects centered on usability, accountability, and sustainability. By leveraging backward design, the curriculum will integrate advanced human-AI interaction frameworks and emphasize AI literacy as a critical civic capacity. Pedagogical efforts will focus on technical upskilling and the application of Generative AI to support inclusive, student-centered learning environments.
