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.
