Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world, but many people lack the knowledge or skills to use it. This digital divide could widen the gap between early and late adopters of technology. To bridge this gap, this project proposed an instructional course to help people with limited digital literacy skills learn about AI and use basic AI tools. A literature review analyzed the AI divide, the impact on vulnerable populations, and the importance of simplicity and practicality in instructional materials. The instructional design and strategy for the course were outlined, focusing on providing a basic understanding of AI and practical skills for using AI tools. The methodology for evaluating the course's usability and learning effectiveness included participant recruitment, evaluation instruments, and a data analysis plan. The usability study showed successful task completion by participants, but identified several navigational difficulties. The learning evaluation demonstrated a 17% average score increase in pre- and post-quizzes, indicating the effectiveness of the instructional approach in enhancing learner knowledge, while the attitudinal survey revealed high satisfaction with the course's design and user-friendliness.
