The first episode in the USM’s AI, Unscripted podcast series is now available. The collection of 30-minute sessions is intended to encourage and support faculty in using AI for teaching and learning. In this first episode, Ben Shaw, a teaching and learning librarian at the University of Maryland, College Park, talks about a module on AI and Information Literacy that instructors can add to their courses.

The 1-2 hour module was developed to help university students in any course and with any background learn how to use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Adobe Firefly. You can explore the module on the UMD site. If you are interested in adding or adapting the module for your own course website, you can fill out a request form on this page.
