Introducing Codio AI Literacy: The Course Every Discipline Needs, Not Just Computer Science

Every campus has an AI policy by now. Almost none have an AI course.

That gap is the problem Codio AI Literacy is built to close — a ready-to-teach, credit-ready course that gives students practical AI skills, regardless of major.  Not a CS elective. Not a one-off workshop. A structured course any department can adopt this term.

What makes it different

The course is built around four core skills: using real AI tools in live environments (not simulations), questioning AI outputs rather than accepting them at face value, taking ownership of attribution and integrity through real cases, and applying what students learn the way a first job actually demands — a real task done well, with AI as a tool, not a shortcut.

It spans 11 modules, from AI fundamentals and prompting through data analysis, building AI agents, and a capstone where students revisit and improve their own earlier work — visible proof of how their judgment has changed over the course.

For instructors, the course arrives fully built and sequenced — no course design from scratch, no AI expertise required to teach it, and nothing to install. It's browser-based and integrates directly with Canvas and existing LMS platforms, with grades passing back automatically.

Already in the classroom

The University of Tampa is the first institution teaching Codio AI Literacy — required for all students starting this Fall. Jessica O'Brien, who coordinates online learning and digital literacy at Tampa, sees AI literacy becoming a foundational workplace skill, one students need well beyond graduation.

See it in action

We recently hosted a live walkthrough of the course with Codio CEO Doug Hughes and Jessica O'Brien, covering the instructor and student experience, the pedagogy behind it, and how it maps to the U.S. Department of Labor's AI Literacy guidance. If you'd like to see it before adopting, the recording is available.

Get started this Fall

Syllabi for Fall term aren't locked yet — there's still time to bring AI Literacy into your curriculum this semester rather than waiting for next year.
