Artificial Intelligence in Education & Training

Who We Are

The Artificial Intelligence in Education & Training program area is a dedicated research and development (R&D) initiative committed to advancing artificial intelligence (AI) in education and workforce training. As part of CETE, housed within the College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University, our program leverages interdisciplinary expertise to bridge the gap between the rapid evolution of AI technologies and the preparedness of educators, trainers, and professionals. Our vision is to foster a generation that is not only proficient in AI but also responsible in its application, ensuring ethical and effective integration into education and the workforce.

What We Do

The Artificial Intelligence in Education & Training program area works to enhance AI literacy, responsible AI use, and workforce readiness by offering a range of activities that include:

Research & Development: Conducting impactful research to explore the most effective ways to integrate AI into education and training.
Professional Learning & Training: Providing educators, trainers, and learning designers with resources, tools, and training to effectively incorporate AI in teaching and workforce development.
Curriculum & Resource Development: Creating educational materials, frameworks, and evidence-based practices that support AI education and literacy.
Consultation & Partnership Opportunities: Collaborating with organizations to provide expert guidance, in-house training, and customized AI education solutions.

CETE aims to transform AI education and workforce training by partnering with individuals and organizations to harness AI’s potential while navigating its challenges responsibly.

Projects

Artificial Intelligence Literacy for Families and Schools

As part of CETE’s AI in education & training program area, the Artificial Intelligence Literacy for Families and Schools Project is dedicated to supporting families and educators with the knowledge and tools to navigate an AI-driven world. In partnership with the family engagement program area, this initiative bridges the gap between home and school by providing AI literacy resources, professional learning sessions, and immersive experiences that help parents and teachers integrate AI into student learning.

Generative AI Capacity Building at CETE

As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and responsible technology use, CETE has launched an internal initiative to train the members of the CETE community in the safe, ethical, and effective use of generative AI (GenAI). This initiative focuses on equipping members of the CETE community with tools and strategies to thoughtfully integrate GenAI into their daily work as a way of boosting productivity while remaining critical of the technology’s limitations and potential risks.
