Q. Where can I find teaching aids or lesson plans about AI-assisted searching?

Along with occasional workshops, UMass Lowell’s Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) has produced a website about AI that covers: 

• Overview and definition of AI tools 
• Sample syllabi statements covering restrictive and permissive AI use policies 
• Tips for writing effective prompts 
• Resources for researchers/ faculty looking to use AI 

In addition to CELT's content, the UML library has gathered links to more resources about AI-assisted searching for college students and faculty: 

• Florida International University has created several AI-focused lesson plans based on ACRL standards to cover topics such as:
  • Introducing students to AI technology
  • Identifying AI-generated content,
  • Effective and ethical use of ChatGPT, and more
• Harford Community College has also curated lesson plans that examine different aspects of AI, including:
  • Pros and cons of using AI
  • Using generative AI to arrive at specific solutions
  • Exploring AI tools in the context of information literacy
