AI Literacy for All

By Lanka Education And Research Network (LEARN)

About the course

The AI Literacy for All programme aims to build foundational Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy and practical skills among key learner groups in Sri Lanka. The initiative adapts the Google AI Essentials curriculum on Coursera under LEARN’s “AI for All” framework. Designed to promote employability, digital readiness, and confidence in using AI tools, the programme equips learners to apply AI across education, research, and professional contexts. Though conducted primarily online for wider reach, LEARN is enhancing accessibility through the translation of content into Sinhala and Tamil and integration with a new Learning Management System (LMS). By fostering AI awareness and capacity across multiple education sectors, the initiative lays a strong foundation for a digitally skilled and future-ready Sri Lankan workforce.
