GenAI 101
In the fall of 2025, Indiana University launched the largest course in IU history, GenAI 101. Every IU student was auto enrolled in the free course to jump-start AI literacy for all IU students. Since then, GenAI 101 has been offered to all IU Alumni, corporate partners and is now free to the world. Over 120,000 have now engaged in the course. I’m proud to be part of providing this fundamental AI literacy resource to anyone who wants to learn. Learn more at kelley.iu.edu/learnai
My role in the project: I managed the media production and content strategy for “GenAI 101,” an initiative launched by Indiana University administration to provide a unified AI literacy foundation for 100,000 students. As the Director of Learning Technologies at Kelley and the manager of Jellison Studios, I served as a central coordinator between university decision-makers, the instructor, and the design team. To meet a high-pressure 42-day deadline, my team and I rapidly mastered AI concepts to contribute valid pedagogical ideas, brainstorm content, and write practical course activities.
I ideated the creative video concepts, including the interactive character “Crimson,” and maintained quality control over 30+ videos to ensure high engagement. This “light” design strategy effectively bridged gaps between AI skeptics and overconfident users, resulting in high participation rates from students, faculty, and staff.
