AMICAL Keeps Current: Teaching with AI – How to apply it to your Information Literacy classroom
The next AMICAL Keeps Current event will be led by Fadia M Alakhras (Reference and Instruction Librarian at the American University of Kuwait), Stella Asderi (Supervisor of Academic Liaison Librarians at the American College of Thessaloniki), Rebecca Hastie (Reference and Instruction Librarian at the American University of Sharjah) and the AMICAL Information Literacy Initiatives Committee.
The starting point of our conversation will be the book chapter entitled “AI Basics” by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson. The chapter is part of their book Teaching with AI published in 2024. The aim of this session is to deepen our understanding of AI technical terms as well as to hear from participants how they use AI in their information literacy instruction.
The AMICAL Information Literacy Initiatives Committee sees this Keep Current session as one out of three sessions on the book Teaching with AI.
Here are some suggested points of discussion (you may put forward and discuss further points during the meeting):
- What AI software do you use in your information literacy classroom?
- How do you apply AI into your information literacy instruction?
- What are the challenges you face when teaching with or about AI in your classroom?
- To what extent do librarians need to master the technical language of AI?
- How do faculty and students respond to your instruction?
The event will be held on Zoom (see our online event guidelines) and recorded. If you register for the event, you will be emailed a link to the recording.
