The National Humanities Center, with the support of ConsumerAffairs, is proud to host the 2025 Tulsa Artificial Intelligence and Digital Literacy: Toward an Inclusive Practice (AIDL) Teachers Institute at the University of Tulsa. Open to all Tulsa-area K–12 educators, this institute will provide an immersive, hands-on learning experience connecting teachers with scholars of artificial intelligence, digital literacy, and the humanities. The goal is to offer resources to navigate the pedagogical challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence in the classroom.

During the institute, attendees will engage in active and generative conversations with AIDL scholars, participate in interactive demonstrations, build community with other regional educators, and develop instructional resources. The institute will also present best practices for redesigning classroom instruction and online education resources for use by instructors at all levels.
