| Abstract: | This paper examines the shared student learning outcomes (SLOs) of eight online graduate programs in Learning, Design, and Technology (LDT) and aligns them with generative AI-focused ethical principles derived from the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative. This conceptual approach -- aligning thematically related or shared SLOs with a set of universal ethical principles in the context of generative AI use - demonstrates how ethical considerations can be integrated into LDT educational programs, ensuring that graduates are equipped to navigate the complexities of AI and emerging technologies responsibly. This paper is meant to demonstrate a research-based approach to developing ethical alignments for AU uses within LDT-program SLOs with the goal of fostering ethical, equitable, and sustainable professional practices in the field. |
