Material Detail

This open educational resource is being utilized in an undergraduate design and emerging technology course by Christine Eum at California State University, Chico. The resource supports MADT 498 / MADT 240: Designing Human–AI Interaction, a course focused on the design, evaluation, and ethical implications of AI-powered interactive systems through UI/UX and human-centered design approaches.

This OER consists of instructor-developed modular learning materials covering topics such as AI systems, human-centered AI design, trust and explainability, ethical AI, automation, and AI interaction prototyping. The materials include original instructional writing, case studies, design activities, discussions, reflections, and assignments designed specifically for undergraduate learners from interdisciplinary backgrounds.

The primary motivation for developing and adopting these OER materials was to improve accessibility, reduce financial barriers, and provide cohesive learning resources tailored to undergraduate human–AI interaction education. Most students in this course access the materials digitally through Canvas using laptops, tablets, and mobile devices in a fully online asynchronous learning environment.
