    Teaching AI Fluency with Authenticity and Vulnerability

    The increasing presence of generative AI opens new opportunities for educators to make a significant impact on student learning. And yet, for those who lack significant experience or expertise related to AI, leading discussions about AI or engaging with AI tools may create feelings of vulnerability. How can we talk with our students about AI, or provide guidance or create policies for AI use, if we don't feel comfortable using AI ourselves? In this workshop, two educators with varying levels of expertise with AI will discuss how educators, even those who may not have a great deal of experience using AI tools, can approach teaching with or talking about AI in an authentic manner. This workshop is being offered by The Ohio State University Libraries Teaching & Learning Department. All are welcome to attend. 

    For those not affiliated with Ohio State, this session counts toward completion of the Teaching Information Literacy Certificate from the University Libraries Teaching & Learning Department. For questions, email LIB-Teach@osu.edu.
