Description:

"Generative Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and others) was introduced three years ago but its place in the learning process is unclear to many: Can these tools enhance learning; what is considered 'ethical' use; and what is my role as a user versus GAI's function as an optional learning assistant? This session will highlight the basics of what GAI is useful for, as well as its limitations, and will define the active steps that users need to take if they choose to use these tools.

This workshop is hybrid (in person at University Libraries and online over Zoom) and geared toward Northwestern undergraduate students. Plese register for location and connection information. A Northwestern Zoom account is required to access the online session.

This workshop will be led by Tracy Coyne, Distance Learning and Professional Studies Librarian; Frank Sweis, User Experience Librarian; and Jeannette Moss, User Education Librarian.
