Title:
"Designing for AI Literacy: When life gives you LLMs, make LLMonade”
Short description:
This presentation will showcase the development and implementation of “When Life Gives You LLMs, Make LLMonade,” a self-paced, asynchronous online training aimed at advancing generative AI (GenAI) literacy among faculty, staff, and students at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. The presentation will describe the context of the training, key design decisions, implementation strategies, and participant feedback. The presentation will conclude with design reflections and takeaways that may be relevant to others developing professional learning experiences around rapidly evolving technologies.
Speakers:
Dr. Victoria Abramenka-Lachheb is an experienced learning designer, educator, and scholar with a Ph.D. in Instructional Systems Technology and a minor in Human–Computer Interaction from Indiana University Bloomington. She has designed learning experiences across online, face-to-face, and blended modalities, as well as diverse cultural contexts, including cross-border program design and teaching for a U.S.–China partnership. Her interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work spans faculty and staff development, public health education, and large-scale instructional design projects, emphasizing accessible, ethical, and human-centered design. She approaches design as an intentional, reflective process that responds thoughtfully to each unique context, especially in the design of learning experiences.
Frederique Laubepin, PhD, is a Clinical Instructor and Assistant Director of Instructional Services at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, where she leads school-wide initiatives to advance innovative, inclusive, and accessible teaching and learning. She serves as the school’s Faculty Liaison for Inclusive Teaching and co-leads digital accessibility efforts to support compliance with evolving ADA requirements. Dr. Laubepin earned her PhD in Sociology from the University of Michigan and previously worked as a research scholar at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).
Her work focuses on instructional design, faculty development, online and hybrid education, and the responsible integration of emerging technologies. She collaborates with faculty to design high-impact learning experiences across residential and online programs, including the online MPH program she helped develop and launch. Dr. Laubepin also develops and teaches courses and workshops on generative AI in higher education and public health, with an emphasis on AI literacy, ethics, and human-centered skills for an AI-augmented future.
