AI Literacy: Senior

How do students remain intellectually responsible when AI can participate in almost every stage of their work?

Redesign learning and assessment so senior students must verify AI-assisted work, explain what they delegate and remain responsible for their decisions.

Students need to show their judgement as well as their finished work

Senior students are heading towards further study and work where they will be expected to use AI, explain their choices and remain responsible for the result. A polished piece of work does not show what they understood, delegated or checked.

This course helps teachers redesign learning and assessment so students can use AI where it is useful while making their own judgement, verification and responsibility visible.

Design learning and assessment that make students’ judgement visible, even when AI is part of the work.

You'll leave able to

  • Teach students a sufficiently sophisticated model of how contemporary AI works
  • Design tasks requiring verification, evidence and independent judgement, and help students make deliberate decisions about dividing work between themselves and AI
  • Establish meaningful expectations around attribution, disclosure and accountability
  • Examine bias, system design and societal implications
  • Redesign curriculum and assessment for an environment in which AI is readily available

The three sessions

  1. Session 1

    Knowledge, information and fluent text

    Participants examine what knowledge is, how it differs from information and whether a language model’s output can count as knowledge. They use AI-generated claims to consider how a claim is justified, tested and made persuasive.

    They also test a text AI’s limits by attempting to produce a confident but incorrect answer, an invented source or an answer that follows a false assumption. The purpose is to examine reliability through evidence, not fluency.

  2. Session 2

    Using AI to test an argument

    Participants use AI as a challenger to an argument. They ask it to identify gaps in logic, raise counter-arguments or produce material for scrutiny, then evaluate its observations and decide which to accept, reject or investigate further.

    The work includes identifying assumptions, testing logical validity and forming a well-founded position of one’s own. The AI produces material; the student evaluates the reasoning.

  3. Session 3

    Making intellectual responsibility visible

    Participants use a thinking log to identify where a student used their own thinking, where they leaned on AI and where the tool began to take over work that should remain theirs. They connect this with transparent documentation of AI’s role in a piece of work.

    Applied to an existing substantial task, the session asks what students need to document in order to account for their process, authorship and final decisions. It does not rely on AI-detection tools as proof of honesty.

  4. Follow-up

    Online follow-up

    A 60-minute online review of a first trial. Participants bring a thinking log, student documentation or a task design question, then identify where responsibility is clear and where the task still needs revision.

How you'll learn

Every course we run is built on what research says makes professional learning change practice. Here is what that looks like in this one.

Build knowledge

Shared examples of how contemporary AI works, where it fails and what changes when information is generated instantly.

Set your goal

You choose one substantial task or assessment to rework so that students' judgement stays visible.

Practise the technique

Task analysis and collaborative design work show you where AI changes intellectual work, with guided discussion of your revised task.

Embed it in practice

You test the revised task with students, then use a live online follow-up session to refine your expectations on attribution, disclosure and accountability.

Evidence & methodology

Three live online sessions, one week apart, move from understanding and interrogation to practical curriculum design. Teachers work with shared examples, apply the ideas to their own learners and receive structured peer feedback. An optional group follow-up supports refinement after the course.

The course family is informed by the OECD and European Commission AI Literacy Framework, including the Engage, Create, Manage and Shape dimensions, alongside Nordic AI literacy work including Faktabaari EDU. The Nordic Learning Company translates these reference points into age-appropriate classroom learning and professional judgement about when AI supports learning and when it replaces intellectual work students need to do themselves.
