This session explores the intersection of generative AI and pedagogical frameworks to promote critical thinking in higher education, ensuring genAI does not simply replace genuine learning. Our tool, Bloom's stAIrcase, aligns Bloom's Taxonomy with AI literacy creating an interactive interface for educators to design AI-leveraged assignments. A feature of this tool is a prompt generator, which guides users through the process of using a generative AI tool to build their own AI literacy activities specific to their subject area and teaching context. This session provides strategies for scaffolding deeper learning, ethical engagement, and reflective use of generative AI in academic environments.
Participants will: 1. Understand how the Bloom's stAIrcase connects AI literacy to critical thinking and learning design 2. Explore an interactive prompt-generation tool that allows users to scaffold AI-related learning activities into their own teaching contexts 3. Develop ideas for implementing or adapting the model for their own institutions or disciplines
