Registration is open for the ACRL Distance & Online Learning Section AREDI webinar “Decolonizing Digital Learning in the GenAI Era”. It will take place on Monday, June 16, at 11:00 AM CDT.
Given its convenience of learning from anywhere at any time, digital learning contributes to the democratization of learning and learning spaces. Still, digital learning and learners face various challenges including isolations, identity incongruence, cultural responsiveness, and epistemic hegemony. This talk critically will discuss these challenges in the era of generative AI and advance the need to decolonize digital learning for libraries and librarians engaged in this space. This critical look will highlight and demonstrate how decolonizing digital learning can drive epistemic parity, affirm equity, and enhance the learning experience of all learners.
