PERSONAL LEARNING WITH AI Come join with me and learn about personal growth and AI! This 60-minute session explores how AI tools can enhance personal learning and skills development for professional growth. The rapidly evolving landscape of AI presents an unprecedented opportunity for individuals to harness its power for creativity and intellectual development. The session addresses the transformative potential of AI tools in daily life, while also considering the ethical implications and privacy concerns of integrating AI into personal routines. As technology reshapes our world, this workshop provides practical strategies for leveraging AI to enhance self-directed learning and career development and to empower attendees to take control of their learning journeys and unlock their full potential with these advanced tools. Participants will explore techniques for goal setting, creative learning, and acquiring new skills, guided by project-based and question-based learning frameworks. The session aims to help participants understand that personal learning and professional productivity are interconnected. By enhancing personal well-being and fostering intellectual curiosity, individuals can achieve greater success and satisfaction in their professional lives. Through practical examples, real-world applications, and hands-on activities, participants will leave with actionable strategies to integrate AI into their personal and professional routines effectively and ethically. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Understand the potential of AI tools to support personal and professional learning. Explore methods to boost creativity, productivity, and intellectual inquiry with AI. Address ethical considerations and privacy concerns in using AI for personal learning. Learn practical techniques for using AI to develop goals, acquire skills, and track progress. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completing this webinar, attendees will be able to: Utilize AI to enhance creativity, engagement, and problem-solving in personal and professional contexts. Design personalized learning plans and career development strategies with AI tools. Apply AI for subject-matter exploration, project-based learning, and even hobby development while critically assessing and evaluating learning outcomes. Set actionable goals, measure progress, and refine strategies using AI-generated insights and feedback This 60-minute?webinar is part of our Library 2.0 "AI Essentials" Series.

A recently published review, led by Ruiqi Deng, of 69 experimental research studies on interventions using ChatGPT to support student learning, aims to provide some early insights for those evaluating generative AI integration in education. Looking beyond the “Highlights”: 1. Academic Performance While studies indicate that using ChatGPT can boost academic performance, these gains may stem from biases in assessment design and evaluation rather than representing genuine improvements in learning. Effects appear larger in arts and humanities, and results are also stronger in classroom-based, short-duration interventions. 2. Affective-Motivational States The use of ChatGPT positively influences student motivation and enjoyment of learning, particularly in higher education settings. Short-term novelty effects may exaggerate these benefits, so longitudinal studies will be needed to determine whether these types of impacts persist. 3. Higher-Order Thinking While students perceive improvements in higher-order thinking skills with ChatGPT interventions, these claims often rely on self-reports, and are therefore susceptible to overestimation. The authors suggest that objective measures, such as standardised critical thinking tests, are needed to validate these claims. 4. Mental Effort The availability of ChatGPT reduces the mental effort required for learning tasks through cognitive offloading, though some studies suggest it may weaken critical thinking. 5. Self-Efficacy ChatGPT's impact on self-efficacy is inconsistent across the studies. While these experimental studies can provide some initial insights into associations between the use of ChatGPT and a range of outcomes, they don’t consider the longer term learning effects of generative AI use. https://lnkd.in/g4a_GhHG

Thank you Zach Kinzler for inviting me to come on your podcast! I talked more than I thought I would about my piano-AI analogy! Every time I ponder it, I become more convinced of its aptness. #ai #genai #aieducation #aiworkplace #aitraining #aipiano #piano #music #musician #generativeai #humanai #humanmachineinteraction #humancomputerinteraction #hmi #hci

What do AI and playing the piano have in common? In the latest episode of the Smarter Campus Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Reed Hepler, Digital Initiatives Librarian and Archivist at the College of Southern Idaho. Reed shared incredible insights into the inner workings of AI and why understanding how it functions (at a high level) is so important. One of my favorite moments was Reed’s piano analogy: “Before you play a note on the piano, you read the sheet music and think through what you’re about to do. It’s the same with AI—you can’t just walk up and expect to play perfectly.” This comparison really hit home for me and highlights the thoughtful approach we need when working with AI. We also dove into how Reed uses AI in creative projects, like building tabletop games, and the role of prompting in making AI truly work for you. If you’ve ever been curious about what AI really is and how to use it effectively, this episode is for you.

James Hammer talks about what I’m going to call the Four Cardinal Directions of AI: Up Down, Back (Right), Forward (Left). This is very insightful! Go read this brief description and ruminate on it! #ai #aiethics #genai #aieducation #ailiteracy #aiworkplace #aitraining https://lnkd.in/e6mxyN8h
