Into the Void?: Asynchronous Online Instruction and Student Engagement in the Age of AI

Wednesday October 9, 2024 1:00pm - 1:20pm CDT

Room 324

Join me for a case study as I attempt to improve student engagement in my asynchronous, 1-credit, online information literacy course (LIBS 1011). Students' engagement levels with the required class discussion boards vary from one semester to another, and poor participation in discussions can make it impossible for students to succeed in the course. I'll share an overview of the problem, my attempted solutions, and whether I'm able to move the needle on discussion board participation.

Speakers

Lauren McAdams

Reference Librarian/Associate Professor, Baton Rouge Community College

I'd like to know how everyone is handling course marking for AER/OER courses at their institutions.

Addressing Student Anxiety, Success, and Retention: How Can Libraries Provide Students with the Guidance They Need?

Wednesday October 9, 2024 1:30pm - 2:15pm CDT

Room 324

Today’s students face complex access to resources and unprecedented stress levels while navigating the ever-changing AI landscape. In this session, we’ll explore how the library can embed library support such as LibGuides, LibChat and AI guidance directly into research workflows, enabling students to unlock access to paywalled resources and receive AI guidance directly at the point-of-need. Consequently, reducing stress levels and ultimately improving research outcomes and retention.

Why Can't They Just Google It?

Thursday October 10, 2024 2:00pm - 2:45pm CDT

Room 324

Google is the gateway to the internet for many, but is it really the best way to stay informed? Bias, bad actors, filter bubbles, and advertising interests often bury quality resources, resulting in an information desert where there should be abundance. Join us as we explore the motivations and methods behind this ubiquitous search engine and learn how CloudSource OA--available to LOUIS libraries--can open the door to more than 60M OA and OER without the frustration and dead ends of Google.
