Short Session Description (one line): An examination of AI instruction to university students through a metacognitive lens
Full Session Description (as long as you would like): This session examines AI instruction for university students through a metacognitive lens, drawing on teaching practices at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Rasmuson Library. It outlines current approaches to introducing students to AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), and argues that instruction focused solely on use and evaluation is incomplete without metacognitive reflection. The session highlights two adaptable activities designed to help students critically assess not only AI-generated content, but their own understanding of it.
