Registration is open for the next LIS Pedagogy Chat, “Choosing Which Shortcuts When Learning”. It will take place online Friday, March 6, at 1:00 PM CDT.
Even though educators are concerned about the impact that AI has on learning, I’ll suggest that learning depends on processes that we have long outsourced to a variety of automating technologies. This suggests that our sense of which practices are “essential” to learning is a cultural choice rather than a fixed truth. Together, we’ll discuss how these choices shape student behavior, especially around shortcuts and automation, and what this may mean for designing more intentional learning environments.
The session will consist of a brief framing by Sean Burns (University of Kentucky), followed by a facilitated discussion. Please register here.
LIS Pedagogy Chat, founded by Melissa Wong (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Laura Saunders (Simmons University), is an informal community of practice for LIS faculty and practitioners. Our sessions include a short presentation followed by casual discussion. Non-LIS people are also welcome. To view a list of additional upcoming webinars, please go here.
