Teaching Library Users About AI Images: A Case Study

AI-generated images and videos are now frequently found across social media, advertising, and academic spaces, yet many users interact with these visuals without recognizing them as AI or understanding how they are created. As academic libraries increasingly position themselves as leaders in information and digital literacy, AI image literacy presents both a challenge and an opportunity. To help our patrons better understand, I developed and facilitated an AI image literacy workshop focused on helping participants critically evaluate AI-generated images and videos while also understanding how they are made.

Ensuring Human-Centered AI EdTech: Inclusive Design and Evolving Information, Digital, Media, and Algorithmic Literacies

Emerging technologies increasingly impact the design of and access to education. Current research in higher education and educational technology argues the benefits (e.g., time-saving, personalization, scalability) and concerns (e.g., academic integrity, accessibility, data reliability, ethics, privacy) of students using artificial intelligence in education. Though these pro and con lists may be valid and growing, a perspective is often missing from conversations about AI in education: accessibility and people with disabilities. This article first reviews the importance of understanding relevant literacies—information, digital, media, and algorithmic—and describes examples of educational technologies (EdTech) that highlight learning objectives of using and creating knowledge and content with those tools. Then, inclusive and human-centered design principles are discussed as a foundational construct to design human-centered AI and use cases for integrating AI in learning design.
