This workshop introduces students to using AI as a supportive tool for effective studying. Participants will explore practical ways AI can enhance active learning, such as generating practice questions, summarizing readings, explaining challenging concepts, and creating personalized study plans. The session also emphasizes critical evaluation of AI outputs, helping students identify errors, bias, or misleading information and decide when AI is useful versus when traditional study strategies are more effective. Finally, participants will learn ethical guidelines for academic AI use, clarifying the difference between appropriate study support (like brainstorming and concept clarification) and inappropriate uses, such as submitting AI-generated work as their own.
Learning Goal:
Develop how to use AI as a study aid while evaluating its accuracy and using it ethically.
Learning Outcome:
By the end of the session, students will be able to critically evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and usefulness. This includes checking for errors, bias, hallucinations, and deciding when AI is helpful versus when traditional study methods are better.
