description As AI becomes integral to students’ learning, educators must adapt to this AI-driven landscape. However, there is a notable gap in research focusing on fostering AI literacy among higher education lecturers. This paper presents a design-based research project aimed at developing a professional development curriculum for educators at the tertiary level through iterative cycles. In the first cycle, a voluntary internal professional development course was offered as a blended learning scenario. Evaluation involved a validated AI literacy performance test and AI readiness scale items. The results of the first cycle are going to be presented and discussed. Based on these findings, modifications to the course are outlined.
