Course Curriculum
01
AI Literacy for Institutional Leaders. What You Actually Need to Know
A non technical introduction to how AI systems work, what they can and cannot do, and the vocabulary you need to evaluate vendor claims and participate meaningfully in institutional AI conversations.
02
Ethical Implementation. Frameworks for Responsible AI Adoption
The ethical dimensions of AI deployment in institutional settings. Equity implications, student data rights, transparency obligations, and the difference between AI that helps students and AI that optimizes for institutional metrics at student expense.
03
Vendor Evaluation. How to Ask the Right Questions Before You Sign
A structured framework for evaluating AI vendors in higher education. The 15 questions every institution should ask, what answers to expect from a credible vendor, and the red flags that signal a contract you will regret.
04
Policy Drafting. Building Governance That Keeps Pace with Change
A practical guide to drafting institutional AI policy that is specific enough to be useful, flexible enough to remain relevant, and developed through a process that produces genuine genuine stakeholder support rather than managed compliance.
05
Measuring What Matters. ROI and Outcome Evaluation
How to define success metrics for AI implementation before deployment rather than after. What data you need, who owns it, how to evaluate vendor provided outcome data critically, and how to build an independent assessment function without a dedicated research team.
