If you are unsure if a certain use of an AI-based tool is an academic integrity violation, please talk to your teacher. Every teacher will have different expectations about AI-based tools in their classroom, so it is your responsibility to double-check if you are at all unsure to make sure you are not committing an academic integrity violation.
If you have questions about information literacy or citations, please email the librarian at strower@westsoundacademy.org for assistance!
If you have questions about how AI tools work, or the ethics of AI, check out the "learn more" links on the bottom of the pages in this guide for additional resources and articles to explore.
Welcome to this tutorial on artificial intelligence (AI) and information literacy! The videos and examples included in this guide are designed to help students navigate the rapidly changing world of AI and gain important critical thinking toolkits to use when interacting with AI. The more AI becomes integrated into the systems we use every day, the more important it will be for you to be able to understand its uses and limitations.
This short introductory video below will help get you started:
One important note about communication, academic integrity, and your learning journey:
West Sound Academy's Parent-Student Handbook has a section specifically on Academic Misconduct and Artificial Intelligence on p. 16.
Especially since the field of AI is changing so quickly, it is your responsibility to double-check the expectations of your teachers on all your assignments to make sure you are not using these AI-based tools in a prohibited way -- every teacher will have different expectations about the use of these tools in their classrooms, and even within different assignments. As you use AI-based tools, we encourage you to make sure you're using them to help you learn better and not to shortcut skills that are important for you to practice on your own.
This guide is based on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information Literacy module developed by Ben Shaw and other librarians at the University of Maryland (UMD) Libraries and the Teaching and Learning Transformation Center (TLTC). UMD Librarians acknowledged The Institute for Trustworthy AI in Law & Society (TRAILS) for their collaboration.
Other educational organizations recognized by UMD Libraries as being instrumental in the creation of their module include: Stanford CRAFT's AI literacy resources, reports and presentations from the Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology, ISTE's Hands-On AI Projects for the Classroom guides, and Kathryn Conrad and Sean Kamperman's curated links on Critical AI Literacy for Educators.
