Hands-On, No-Code AI for Community Colleges

Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday tools. How should community colleges teach it to non-STEM students?

Researchers tested AI User, a no-code, scenario-based online curriculum, with four focus groups of community college instructors.

• Instructors loved exploratory, real-world tasks that let students experiment safely with AI.
• They preferred interactive demonstrations over slides or static concept guides.
• Key needs: stronger scaffolding for beginners, accessibility by design, and multimodal support (text, visuals, audio).

Bottom line: Make AI literacy hands-on and relevant. Pair playful scenarios with clear guardrails and inclusive design, so diverse learners can evaluate, communicate with, and question AI systems, without writing code.
