With the rapid changes in education driven by artificial intelligence, there are many exciting opportunities for adding generative AI to Information Literacy (IL) teaching methods and practices. This presentation provides an overview of how generative AI has been utilized in IL teaching preparation to refresh and elevate activities within our IL curriculum. Updating the in-class exercises with AI-suggested and adapted ones, as well as incorporating AI-suggested examples of topics in the presentations, are a couple of examples of how information literacy librarians at ACT have utilized AI technology in their teaching. Through the use of AI-driven adaptations and the collection of student feedback, these activities become adaptable and dynamic based on what learners need.
This presentation focuses on the learnings and challenges from this experimentation with AI tools. Practical takeaways for educators are the various uses of AI in teaching, the quality considerations and critical thinking application, as well as the evaluation of the AI-driven in-class activities.
