About the Framework
CloudPedagogy’s Generative AI Capability Framework helps educators, researchers, and academic leaders use generative AI strategically, ethically, and effectively across their practice.
Grounded in design thinking, systems innovation, and ethical foresight, the framework provides a structured, developmental approach to building AI capability in real-world settings.
It is organised into six core capability domains:
AI Awareness
Human–AI Co-Agency
Generative Practice
Ethics & Equity
Decision-Making & Governance
Reflective Practice
The framework is designed for flexible application across teaching, research, curriculum design, institutional planning, and academic development.
