STEM Undergraduates and Competence in Artificial Intelligence: AI Literacy Perspeptions Sheng, Hu; Mallawaarachchi, Chammika Artificial Intelligence and STEM undergraduates are concerned that studying their needs and preferences is critical to initiating AI literacy competence because there is a gap between the link of needs and preferences of user requirements. Many professionals and practitioners believe that this century is described by its rapid information and communication technology development with state-of-the-art- facilities in AI because these technologies turn pervasive interactions, for instance, machine learning, deep learning, and mobile learning. Further, in higher education, private campuses began to use AI-enabled technologies to leverage students’ personalized learning and reduce their teaching and administrative work while offering more learning support and interactive learner experiences. This phenomenon leads to higher education in a new arena of AI in education (AIED). With these growing concerns over some periods, the importance of literacy in numerous perspectives, for instance, information, visual, media, computer, and digital are paying attention but not AI literacy. Hence, there is an urgent need to investigate STEM undergraduates’ obstacles to learning in an AI environment and related determinants to solve while enhancing their skills, knowledge, and wisdom in AI. Hence, this paper intends to bridge the gap by mainly recognizing the significant contribution of AI literacy towards teaching and learning in education. For that purpose, the main object of this paper is to observe and document machine learners’ obstacles encountered during the AI learning environment and their process without skills, knowledge, and wisdom of AI literacy. Also, it identifies available opportunities for further development of hidden areas of AI literacy. However, significant numbers of stakeholders attached to education are not well aware of how AI functions and opt for these facilities in teaching, learning, and research. For that purpose, this study was carried out based on a case study with a qualitative research design with 30 undergraduate students who follow STEM programs in private campuses in Sri Lanka and are engaged in virtual learning environments. As a result, the research findings reflected that AI literacy has significant values on perceptions of the use of AI for teaching and learning, self-efficacy in learning AI, its causes and solutions, interlinks, and benefits concurrently. Finally, the study recommends that examinations and promotion of the power of AI literacy are equally important

Significant Influences of Digital Literacy to Promote Gender Equity and Equality in Education: Digital Literacy Perspective Mallawaarachchi, Chammika. This chapter shows the importance of digital literacy to enrich the concept of gender towards inequity and inequality to use digital resources. Digital resources are significant areas of the digital information economy. However, it has been observed that opportunities are given differently to genders to use digital resources that can enhance skills and knowledge. Therefore, to critically understand how gender matters in digital literacy is tested in the digital teaching environment. The study is based on quantitative research to illustrate that gender differences are the main hurdles in the learning of digital literacy. The study has found that gender differences are initiated from classroom interactions and goes up to collaborative learning processes. Finally, the research recommends that the emerging gender inequalities have to be considered critically to initiate and facilitate gender equity and equality.

Peace, Peace Building and Conflict : An Annotated Bibliography Mallawaarachchi, Chammika. This is an annotated bibliography of books on peace, peace building and conflict, written and compiled as a reference tool. It aims to assist organisations and individuals to find the most important and relevant publications available at the Consortium of Humanitarian Agencies Knowledge Center on peace related subjects. This is an effort to address the right to sharing information on the ‘Project on Promotion of Reconciliation and Peace building in Sri Lanka’ funded by Cordaid. This publication should be regarded as a first edition, rather than a finished product.
