AI support for educators
This guide is part of a set of three resources that aim to build educator, and organisational capability with using AI tools.
As AI continues to reshape education, its successful integration hinges on thoughtful planning, ethical frameworks, and a commitment to inclusivity. While AI offers transformative potential, its benefits must be equitably distributed, ensuring that underserved communities are not left behind. Educational institutions have a responsibility to embed cultural responsiveness into AI tools and practices, particularly in diverse settings like Aotearoa New Zealand.
This project undertook an in-depth exploration of artificial intelligence’s (AI) evolving role in Aotearoa New Zealand’s diverse tertiary education sector and has developed practical guidelines to assist educators and organisations to integrate AI into their practice.

We also highlight the difference between digital literacy (the ability to use tech) and AI literacy (the ability to question, refine, and critically engage with AI).
