AI research assistants in the library: Do you have a strategy?

Friday June 12, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

AI Research Assistants are flooding the information landscape. Every major vendor in the industry has or is developing one. Yet the value proposition is unclear. Should the library invest limited resources in an AI research assistant? This session will share the strategy recently developed at a midwest, urban R1 library to answer this question. #ai-research-assistants #library #ai-strategy

What Happens to Quiet Students When AI Speaks for Them? Voice, Identity, and Inclusion in AI-Mediated Learning

Friday June 12, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

Escambia

AI avatars, synthetic voices, and AI-assisted writing increasingly allow students to express themselves through digital intermediaries. For students who stutter, speak with accents, or struggle with anxiety, this can be both empowering and unsettling. This poster draws on classroom pilots using AI voice dubbing, avatars, and AI-supported idea-sorting to examine how AI changes participation, confidence, and identity. It explores when AI amplifies student voice - and when it risks masking or distorting it. #accessibility #student-identity #AI-in-the-classroom

From Manual to Magical: Using AI to Fast-Track Content Creation in High-Enrollment Courses

Friday June 12, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

Escambia

Adding engaging content in high-enrollment courses often feels like a choice between faculty burnout and basic assessments, especially when factoring in accessibility. H5P offers a powerful solution, allowing instructors to build interactive content directly within their LMS without any coding experience required and with most content types being accessible. Now, with H5P's Smart Import AI extension, the process is even faster. This session demonstrates how faculty can transform files (video, audio, or text), weblinks, and/or written text into accessible, interactive content within minutes. Learn how to leverage AI through H5P's Smart Import AI extension to reclaim your time while delivering high-quality content to your students no matter the course size.

Returning to Music After Traumatic Injury: A Practice-as-Research Study on AI-Assisted Practice

Friday June 12, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

Escambia

This poster demonstrates how music educators can use generative AI tools to support musicians with disabilities returning to practice after injury. As researcher and subject, I used ChatGPT to guide my practice after not playing cello for fifteen years, integrating Google Notebook LM to document, identify patterns, and reflect on my practice using a Practice as Research (PAR) methodology. This project shows how AI tools support musicians with disabilities through personalized, self-directed study. My experience offers practical strategies for practice-based practitioners working with students facing physical and emotional barriers. Furthermore, this project offers a nuanced perspective on what it means to “practice.” #music #disability

Stop Policing AI. Start Designing It.

Friday June 12, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Escambia

Most classrooms already function as AI systems—rules, feedback loops, incentives, and automation only poorly designed. This poster challenges the dominant academic narrative of AI as a tool to be monitored or banned and instead presents AI as a teaching system faculty must intentionally design. Through a bold visual “Agent Blueprint,” participants will see how syllabi, assessments, policies, and accessibility choices quietly shape AI behavior in their courses. The poster reframes academic integrity, ethics, and pedagogy as design problems, not enforcement problems—offering a new, uncomfortable, and empowering way to think about teaching with AI.#DesignNotDetection #AIAsSystem #AcademicReckoning

Crafting the Message: AI as a Collaborator in Scientific Presentations

Friday June 12, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Escambia

This talk demonstrates how AI tools can enhance students’ scientific communication skills through guided collaboration. In a scientific communication course, students use AI to ideate, draft, and refine presentations—improving clarity, design, and confidence. Beyond introducing technology, this approach teaches students to engage critically and responsibly with AI, refining prompts, evaluating outputs, and collaborating thoughtfully. The session shares lessons learned from a pilot project, examples of student progress, and practical strategies educators can immediately apply to amplify student voice, creativity, and engagement across disciplines—without compromising academic integrity. #AI-in-Pedagogy #Scientific-Communication #AI-Literacy

(CANCELLED) Building a Faculty AI Readiness Framework: Evidence from Netnography and Interdisciplinary Dialogs

Friday June 12, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT

Escambia

Faculty readiness to teach with AI is shaped by both individual perceptions and institutional conditions. Using netnography and round-table discussions, this two-stage qualitative study captured how faculty and administrators articulate opportunities, concerns, and constraints surrounding AI use in teaching. Findings highlights shared tensions around ethics, assessment practices, and support structures. The study illustrates how these qualitative insights were synthesized to inform a socio-technical Faculty AI Readiness framework that serves as the foundation for subsequent scale development and empirical testing.

AI Prompting and the Basics of Communication

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

Escambia

AI "prompting" has emerged as a critical communication skill. This talk examines how popular prompting advice from companies like Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI aligns with classic communication principles, namely asking who, what, why, and how. In this context, I explore what prompting enhances, obsolesces, retrieves from the past, and what problems emerge when the act of prompting is taking over by the AI. Effective AI education benefits from integrating communication and media literacy alongside technical skills. Connecting AI practices to foundational communication theory helps learners engage these tools with greater awareness, responsibility, and ethical consideration.#Prompting #Communication #Literacy

From AI Policy to Assessment Design: A Review of Higher Education Course Syllabi Using the AI Assessment Scale

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

Escambia

This study examines how generative AI is positioned in higher education course syllabi using the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS). The researcher analyzed syllabi from various educational disciplines to identify AI policies, AI-related activities, and assessment design. A two-stage content analysis was conducted, first documenting visibility and clarity of AI guidance, and then classifying syllabi across AIAS levels. The analysis revealed substantial variation in how AI is framed, with many syllabi emphasizing academic integrity while fewer integrate AI into assessment design. The study highlights implications for intentional, transparent, and pedagogically grounded approaches to AI guidance in course syllabi. Keywords: AI policy, course syllabus, assessment

Analyzing the impact of AI based writing assignments on student perception and performance

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

Escambia

Generative AI models have had a profound impact on how students engage with learning materials. The use of AI tools has become increasingly prevalent among students for academic purposes, however, there is a lack of comprehensive studies assessing their overall effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes. In this study, students in a biology course were administered writing assignments to assess understanding and application of course material. Students in two different course sections were either allowed to use AI tools or their use was prohibited. Student perception of AI usage and performance was measured using surveys, reflective writing, assignments and open-ended questions. #assessment #peer-review #writing

Toward a Culturally Responsive Critical AI Literacy Pedagogy

Friday June 12, 2026 3:40pm - 4:40pm EDT

Escambia

Critical AI literacy (CAIL; Basgier & Wilkes, 2025) pedagogy is increasingly common in higher education as a response to the proliferation of generative AI (GenAI) technologies. Nevertheless, discussions of culturally responsive (Ladson-Billings, 1995) CAIL are uncommon. Accordingly, this poster will detail how faculty and writing center consultant student workers used competencies pursuant to information literacy pedagogy—privacy literacy, environment and health considerations, and impacts on democracy—to inform a CAIL. In doing so, the presenters highlight how further research is needed to determine how students’ identities impact their perception of GenAI and how CAIL can impact students’ decisions on how and when to use GenAI.
