# AI Literacy Essentials — adaptable course package

A white-labeled, openly-licensed (CC BY 4.0) version of a four-module AI literacy
badge course, ready to import into your own LMS and make your own. All
institution-specific details have been replaced with `(PLACEHOLDER)` tokens — search
for them and fill in your campus's information.

## How to use it

1. Import this package into your LMS (it's a Brightspace/D2L course export — `imsmanifest.xml`
   is the manifest; most LMSs can import it or you can copy the HTML pages in manually).
2. Search every file for `(` and `[ Add` and replace each placeholder below with your details.
3. Replace the badge/footer logo placeholders with your library or institution logo.
4. Review the four module quizzes and the "How you earn the badge" language to match how
   you award the credential.

## Notes

- **Images** are referenced by relative filename and travel with this package, so the
  Better Images of AI banners and diagrams will display once imported. Each image keeps
  its CC-BY artist credit on the page — please keep those credits.
- **Internal cross-links** (the course glossary and the "7-Step Ethical AI Decision-Making
  Framework" reference inside a discussion) pointed at the original course's pages. After
  import, re-point them to the matching pages in your copy.
- **Meet Your Librarian** loads Bootstrap/Font Awesome from public CDNs so it works
  standalone; the other content pages are self-contained with inline styles.
- **Grade schemes / roles** in `grades_d2l.xml` and the survey configs are inherited LMS
  metadata, not course content — you can ignore them.
- External links to scholarly sources, AI tools, and other universities' guidance
  (Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, etc.) are intentional citations and were left in place.
