AMICAL Keeps Current: Teaching with AI – AI-assisted faculty and teaching librarians
The next AMICAL Keeps Current event will be led by Fadia M Alakhras (Reference and Instruction Librarian at the American University of Kuwait), Michael Stoepel (User Services Librarian at the American University of Paris), and the AMICAL Information Literacy Initiatives Committee.
The starting point of our conversation will be “Chapter 5: AI-Assisted Faculty” by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson, a book chapter from their book Teaching with AI (2024). The aim of this session is to focus on what AI can already do for librarians and faculty in the context of teaching and what it might soon do. (Please do not share the PDF linked above.)
The AMICAL Information Literacy Initiatives Committee sees this Keep Current session as one of three sessions on the book Teaching with AI.
Here are some suggested bullet points of discussion (you may put forward and discuss further points during the meeting) – the bullet points follow the subheadings in the book chapter:
- Research Assistant
- AI and Your Writing
- Predicting and Big Data
- Interfacing with Students
- Classroom discussions
- Assessment and Customization
- Designing New Assignments
- Course Design
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.
