Artificial Intelligence to Increase Engagement in Textbooks: Where We Are and Where We’re Going
April 9 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
AI is transforming higher education, but it’s benefits and best applications are still evolving. Join Dr. Kelly Odenweller (COMST) and Dr. Rachel Van Campenhout (VitalSource) in this session to discuss the AI practice questions available for free for students in the Bookshelf e-reader platform, the learning science they are based on, and how faculty are currently using these questions as part of their teaching and learning practice. Additionally, we will discuss the different approaches for AI (non-generative vs. generative), guiding principles for developing AI-based learning features, and what the future could look like for students and faculty.
Participants can expect:
- To hear how artificial intelligence can be applied as a tool to advance learning science for effective teaching and learning practices.
- To review the impact of AI generated practice as has been demonstrated by faculty at ISU as part of an ongoing research project.
- To learn how different types of AI will shape the future of learning tools in the VitalSource Bookshelf learning platform.
