AI-Polling Pedagogy: Using Peer Instruction to Build AI Fluency in STEM

Friday June 12, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am EDT

Escambia Hallway

How do we ensure that AI-assisted learning leads to conceptual mastery rather than passive reliance? This poster presents a high-impact teaching model from a Physical Chemistry curriculum that integrates Generative AI with real-time classroom polling (Peer Instruction). In this model, polling serves as the "truth mechanism," requiring students to pivot from AI-guided exploration to individual and group accountability.We detail a 6-step instructional workflow where students interact with AI as a Socratic tutor, followed by a rigorous "Human-Only" polling phase to diagnose misconceptions. By leveraging polling data, instructors can immediately identify where AI-driven "guided learning" succeeded or where it led to conceptual errors. The poster showcases visual data on student performance, the "Reveal" strategy for auditing AI hallucinations, and evidence of how polling-driven feedback loops transform the classroom into a laboratory for critical AI evaluation.

Introductory Music Class Assignments in the Era of AI

Friday June 12, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am EDT

Escambia Hallway

In this poster session, I share my current practices for an “annotated playlist” research assignment that is commonly used in introductory music classes. By developing annotated AI examples that highlight where AI performs well and where it falls short, I teach students to critically evaluate AI's strengths and limitations. Drawing on this approach, my poster offers an overview of my latest version of this assignment that requires digital trails documenting student’s research. I suggest that educators need to re-envision citations to be interactive to achieve the goal of teaching research skills.

Fluency ≠ Literacy: Practical Strategies to Scaffold, Not Offload

Friday June 12, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am EDT

Escambia Hallway

Fluency ≠ Literacy. Our interactive LMS module for instructors explains this and related mindset shifts that equip instructors to actively coach students in developing AI literacy skills and illustrates how instructors can address common expert blind spots regarding student AI usage. We highlight two adaptable AI assignments: using AI agents to generate practice questions for an exam and “adversarial audits” in which students fact-check technical AI output (e.g., protein synthesis). Visit our poster for practical strategies to ensure AI functions as a cognitive scaffold rather than a tool for cognitive offloading. #CriticalAILiteracy #InstructionalDesign #CognitiveScaffolding

Designing for Discovery: AI-Assisted Metadata and Transcripts in Digital Repositories

Friday June 12, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am EDT

Escambia Hallway

The University of South Florida Digital Initiatives Unit works to improve search engine optimization by leveraging robust metadata, transcription, and descriptions generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Inconsistent metadata, uneven text extraction or transcription, and limited descriptive context reduce access to digital collections of all formats. This session examines how AI can improve audiovisual transcription, hand-written document transcription, and enhance descriptive metadata within repository environments. Using staff-scalable workflows, presenters demonstrate how AI-assisted, human-in-the-loop text generation can strengthen titles, abstracts, and subject terms while embedding ethical considerations such as consent, representation, and privacy.

Escambia Hallway

This poster outlines the development of West Virginia University Libraries’ Intro to AI tutorial, which teaches users about GenAI through an information literacy lens. Our tutorial provides a brief history of artificial intelligence and defines common AI terms and concepts. More importantly, it covers how generative AI is trained, how that training impacts its outputs, how to evaluate those outputs and common ethical issues. The tutorial includes self-check questions and a final exam to assess students’ learning. Assigning the tutorial to students before a workshop gives librarians time to focus on more complex AI and information literacy discussions and assignments. #information_literacy #Sustainable_Instruction#libraries
