The Digital Learning Lab, in partnership with the UCI Teacher Academy, is offering a certificate program in AI-Enhanced Education design for K-12 teachers.

The program will consist of three 3-unit courses:

Foundations of AI for Education

• How AI Works
• AI and Society
• Ethics and Privacy
• Equity and Access
• Human-AI Collaboration​

AI-Enhanced Learning

• Personalized Learning
• Writing & STEM Supports
• Inquiry & Creativity
• Evaluation of Learning Tools
• Accessibility

AI-Enhanced Teaching

• Planning with AI
• Differentiating Instruction with AI
• AI in Assessment

• Designing Student-Centered AI Lessons

Each course will be offered online over a 10-week period beginning in 2025 (Course 1 in fall, Course 2 in winter, and Course 3 in spring) and will include a combination of synchronous and asynchronous activities. The program will also be offered in summers, beginning Summer 2026, on a nine-week basis (3 weeks per course). We are also exploring opportunities to offer the course – at UC Irvine, abroad, or online – to groups of international educators.

This page will be updated periodically with more information about costs, registration, and other program details. If you have any questions, please contact the Director of Curriculum and Instruction at the Digital Learning Lab, Dr. Dana Saito-Stehberger ([email protected]). ​
