Spring 2026 Series on Writing & Generative AI: Navigating AI when Teaching Research & Information Literacy
Audience: AI Experimenters
Right now, it may feel like both information literacy and AI literacy are competing for our attention. Possibly, it feels overwhelming to consider how to instruct students to analyze the credibility of source material when generative AI provides an entirely new platform for students to research and engage with source material. Perhaps you haven’t had the bandwidth to integrate yet another element to the research process in your curricula. This session aims to synthesize the seemingly distinct learning objectives of information literacy and AI literacy. Helping students become AI-literate is a facet of information literacy skills. In this session you will get the chance to see how generative AI provides a rich opportunity to teach students to engage critically with their research process and source material for written assignments. We hope you’ll walk away with ideas for activities, and lessons that will prepare your students more effectively for research using AI.
