    This presentation will illustrate how two instructional design librarians tackled teaching the drab topic of plagiarism and elevated it to a fabulous online tutorial. Participants will gain insight into the techniques used to move online instruction from clicking an arrow to get to the next screen and multiple choices quizzes to an enhanced active learning experience that challenges pre-existing thought and builds knew knowledge and skills. Learn how instructional design practices, storyboards, proof of concepts, and technology combine to elevate the online learning experience by giving learners the opportunity to interact with tutorial content through the use of You Try activities that incorporate drag and drop exercises, animated video, sequencing activities and more. The presenters will also discuss how this online tutorial is being used to enhance course curriculum by integrating it into the platforms that faculty are using, from static web pages to course management systems

    The Generative Power of Teamwork: Using Collaboration to Support GenAI Literacy

    Get PDF
    The potential impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on the academic community raises numerous questions and answers, many of which have yet to be discovered. As a new and innovative technology, GenAI poses questions about functionality, training data integrity, ethics, intellectual property, and research functionality capabilities. With so many questions and little specific GenAI expertise, librarians at UC San Diego saw an opportunity to bring together experts in various disciplines to address the literacy needs of a campus community and fill the gaps where the campus had no official policy or guidance. In this poster presentation, you will learn how librarians used teamwork and collaboration within and outside the library to create a centralized repository of GenAI information that has been viewed over 7,500 times since its creation in July 2023. The guide focuses on addressing the many questions the campus community has about GenAI in academic work. We will also share information on how to address academic integrity and support GenAI use without encouraging academic integrity violations. In addition, we also describe how a library-wide community of practice and communication channels aid collaboration and help unite our collective efforts to be a resource for the community. We will also discuss the challenges of keeping resources up to date in an involving information environment

    Scalable and Sustainable: Building a Flexible Library Instruction Team to Handle Whatever the Future May Hold

    While academic librarians constantly work to address the changing needs of higher education, SARS-CoV-2 illustrates how quickly priorities and needs may shift. During the 2020 spring term, the halting of in-person instruction meant many libraries had to use stop-gap measures to provide basic levels of instruction service. No one would claim that this was an ideal way to transition to online instruction, but it became necessary in these unprecedented times. A large number of webinars and online trainings were offered to help librarians make this transition, and many understandably emphasized a “good enough” or “do the best you can” approach. Equally understandable were the questions that cropped up about the accessibility and quality of these stop-gap measures. Imagine, however, that there was no need to resort to stop-gap measures. Imagine that your library had a team in place with years of experience offering sound, innovative instruction that could be delivered in any learning environment. While no one could have planned for a pandemic—or the subsequent mad dash into online instruction—there are ways for a library to forecast educational trends and make sure they have librarians in place with the right preparation and skills to handle the unexpected and unprecedented. This begins by recognizing that the design of effective learning calls for varied skillsets, and that one librarian can’t always “do it all” on their own. A team approach adds significant value to the instructional design process by allowing expertise to be utilized effectively, providing for flexible workload balance, and promoting creative solutions to evolving learning requirements. In this presentation, participants will learn how a team of academic librarians combined their expertise and collaborated to easily transfer in-person instruction to remote learning within the short timeframe allowed before COVID-19 shutdowns occurred. This achievement was possible because of the thoughtful planning of team composition and a sustainable approach to developing information literacy instruction. Participants will engage in break-out group discussions and question-and-answer activities to explore ideas introduced in the presentation
