ECIS MLIE Conference 16-18 February 2024 | The British Library, London: Academic Integrity

Key takeaway: "I do think (and Sarah expands on this in her book) that the teaching of academic integrity needs to spend so much more time on the WHY of citation and referencing, the ethics of acknowledging how others have influenced us, and how that is both respectful to them AND a sign of the credibility of our own work – rather than the MECHANICS of citation." YES!

This rich in resources post from Maha Bali, rofessor of Practice at the Center for Learning & Teaching at the American University in Cairo (AUC), is a goldmine of thought provoking ideas from around the globe related to AI ethics, inequality/oppression created, exacerbated, or reproduced by AI/algorithms, and how to us AI in teaching to promote students’ AI literacy.

The Modern Language Association and Conference on College Composition and Communication have formed a joint task force (co-chairs Holly Hassel and Elizabeth Mathews Losh) to develop resources, guidelines, and professional standards around the use of AI and writing.

Author and educator Autumm Caines suggest some other ways to engage with AI rather than having students give their data to OpenAI.

School Librarians are information literacy specialists who can and need to adapt our teaching to include AI skills. De Groft argues that thinking about a framework for teaching AI literacy is what we need to do now.
