last person joined: 13 days ago 

To provide a forum for fellow PPIRS librarians to share their experiences and ideas about how AI technologies affect their professional work. This group discussion will focus on recent advances in free and subscription generative AI tools that are actively in use by students, faculty, and staff in higher education. As these tools and their underlying technologies are advancing quickly, it is helpful to have an ongoing conversation with our peers to compare best practices and discoveries.

Lexis Nexis Lesson Plans on Researching with AI

  • 1.  Lexis Nexis Lesson Plans on Researching with AI

    Posted Aug 29, 2025 12:43 PM

    Hi there, I just learned about this new free "GenAI Curriculum Toolkit" from Lexis Nexis, which is actually pretty helpful for anyone being asked to show how to do research with GenAI tools. If you don't want to reinvent the wheel they have several lesson plans with slides and activities that thankfully include quite a lot of evaluation, verification and fact-checking steps.  They also have some frameworks/rubrics/checklists for making sure you've vetted AI results and have thoughtfully prompted. 

    I am not sure if I would use these directly myself but it did resonate with regard to the types of classroom activities I could incorporate if asked to teach searching with AI. (We don't have a campus-wide subscription but I know many folks do!).
