We will return to this Padlet later in the seminar. en-us 2025-09-22 17:53:57 UTC 2025-09-29 15:23:33 UTC hello@padlet.com is CAIL its own thing? should it be part of information literacy more generally? cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598162685 2025-09-22 18:59:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598162685 How do we use AI while still creating that "friction" that is so important in learning? alekasz https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598163936 2025-09-22 19:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598163936 We need to highlight the differences between Google searches and AI queries to students--use examples, etc., to show them that GenAI is not just "a better version of Google." cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598166464 2025-09-22 19:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598166464 We talked in the larger group about the frictionlessness of AI. Maybe CAIL is putting the friction back in -- the interruption and prompt to reflect. https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598169553 2025-09-22 19:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598169553 How do we encourage students to seek human feedback and engage with other humans if AI tools provide so much convenience? alekasz https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598170135 2025-09-22 19:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598170135 Pointing out some of AI's shortcomings can be helpful, especially when they see the hype of AI (without looking at the limitations/hallucinations) https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598172327 2025-09-22 19:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598172327 How can we build on students' algorithmic literacies and use that to help deconstruct LLMs? cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598173345 2025-09-22 19:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598173345 Conversations around academic ethics are more foregrounded than past (especially in comparison with plagiarism before AI) -- now it's obvious to everyone that these conversations are necessary. https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598175539 2025-09-22 19:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598175539 With our courses being so packed already, how do we find the time/find opportunities to educate students about all the aspects and dimensions of using AI ethically, rhetorically, etc.? alekasz https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598176463 2025-09-22 19:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598176463 Are the interfaces through which we engage with LLMs shaping both how we use them and how we regard them? For instance, how do students interact with AI differently if they type vs. use the voice "chat" function? cmcvey16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598176652 2025-09-22 19:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598176652 I feel like such an AI slut because I love making it do work I don't want to do like thinking of 75 silly sentences for students to use at a workshop. abirward1 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598182588 2025-09-22 19:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598182588 is the three-pronged definition of CAIL from Vee problematic? cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598185991 2025-09-22 19:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598185991 Distinguishing between critical thinking/creativity and transactional communications--teach students different relationships to AI for different contexts. cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598193971 2025-09-22 19:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598193971 What ignites students? Is it talking about personal stories and creativity, as a vehicle into the larger discussion of AI? Or is it academic writing scaffolding? Or what? cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598197097 2025-09-22 19:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598197097 Re WR 120 LO1: does AI help with this, or conflate it into "one way to read"? How do we teach reading strategies, and differences, in a world of AI-generated summary? cmichaud16 https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598199522 2025-09-22 19:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bostonu2/cail/wish/3598199522
