Using AI to Teach Research Skills

Apr 9, 2025, 11:00 – 11:45 AM

As generative AI tools continue to develop capacity for information retrieval, organization, and synthesis, they present new opportunities for teaching key research skills. This workshop will explore ways instructors can leverage AI to help students develop essential research competencies - from refining research questions and identifying relevant sources to analyzing information and crafting literature reviews. An approach to teaching research that incorporates the critical use and exploration of AI can enhance students’ understanding of research principles while also helping them recognize when and if the use of those tools are appropriate in future projects.

Using AI for Formative Feedback

Mar 3, 2025, 3:00 – 3:45 PM

This session will introduce the affordances and constraints of using AI to generate formative feedback on writing at various stages of development, from ideation to copyediting, including strategic ways of engaging with AI for optimal output. Additionally, we will explore how instructors can integrate AI-generated feedback into students’ writing process while fostering the development of critical thinking and literacies, identifying and foregrounding the shortcomings of AI, and considering when it may not be appropriate or productive for learning.

Using AI to Augment Reading

Feb 11, 2025, 3:30 – 4:15 PM

This session will introduce the affordances and constraints of using AI to engage with readings for different purposes and demonstrate how this works with different AI tools, including strategic ways of engaging with AI for optimal output. Additionally, we will explore how instructors can integrate AI-assisted reading in students’ learning while fostering the development of critical thinking and literacies, identifying and foregrounding the shortcomings of AI, and considering when it may not be appropriate or productive for learning.

AI Literacy and Research: Teaching Students How to Critically Evaluate AI-Generated Information

Oct 9, 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 PM

Teaching students why and how to evaluate information generated from AI tools is important but potentially challenging to implement. As part of UK Libraries' AI Literacy Week, this session will cover practical strategies for teaching students effective habits of mind and how to evaluate AI-generated information to sharpen their own research processes.
