This introductory lesson introduces students to the Harpeth Hall library and resources. An emphasis on evaluating information found online is included in the form of the C.A.R.P. method for evaluating online information.
Technology offers incredible opportunities to transform the way the GLAM sector (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) operates in learning and community environments. Technology is also blamed when things go wrong, or when unexpected outcomes arise. This session will explore the ways in which these institutions are using technology to foster new opportunities for engagement and communication, and discuss the moments where innovation and risk meet.
An exploration of strategies that use both passive and proactive measures to encourage playfulness, and ways different onsite and online systems can combine. More awareness of thinking skills and critical literacy in libraries, and of course the kinds of activities and offerings in libraries, especially around games, collaborative play, and linking with other communities.
PLNs: Asking the right questions (eLearning network) Hamish Curry
Personal Learning Networks have proliferated across the web, and no more so than in the field of education. Everyone has different reasons and strategies for getting involved or starting a PLN, so what might those be? Using stories from the Library's PLN programs combined with group discussion about what PLNs are and what they do, this presentation will shed light on how becoming a networked educator can be a liberating learning experience.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
