Teaching and Learning with AI Conference
Friday June 12, 2026 3:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
In this presentation, two academic librarians and a student worker will share concrete ideas for introducing hesitant undergraduates to AI tools and building their confidence in ethical and appropriate use of them. Designed for a neurodiverse population, our approach emphasizes explicit, step-by-step instruction and hands-on practice to reduce anxiety and build confidence with emerging technologies. We will review workshop ideas and teaching strategies we have found beneficial for our population and also provide practical suggestions for incorporating AI into assignments. While developed for neurodiverse learners, these methods benefit all college students and are easily adaptable. Attendees will leave with ideas to incorporate at their own institutions.
