The Deepfake Game
No full textThis session introduces the deepfake game, a framework for critically engaging with AI-generated content through a dialectical approach that balances skepticism with open-mindedness. As AI deepfakes challenge our understanding of truth and authenticity, this method equips participants with strategies to evaluate digital content, identify manipulations, and respond ethically. The session emphasizes fostering critical thinking and AI literacy, enabling educators to guide students in navigating AI-mediated information landscapes. Participants will gain practical tools to integrate this approach into their teaching, promoting discernment and ethical engagement with digital media in an era of sophisticated AI-generated deception
Harmony and Discord: Using Google Gemini in Music Research
No full textThis presentation explores the integration of AI tools in music bibliography and research courses. To develop critical research and evaluation skills, students engaged with Google Gemini through two structured assignments. We examine successful applications and challenges when incorporating AI assistance into music research workflows. Drawing from student experiences and feedback, we\u27ll discuss how Gemini influenced research processes, scholarly writing conventions, and information evaluation strategies. The findings offer valuable insights for educators considering AI integration in research courses
Connecting Foreign Language Learning and Career Development through AI
No full textThis presentation explores the integration of AI in a Chinese language course, where students use a customized ChatGPT chatbot to practice writing, speaking, and job interview preparation. A demo will show how ChatGPT can personalize interview questions based on students\u27 resumes and target job descriptions while utilizing its audio functionality to facilitate mock interviews. Differences in student performance in ChatGPT-facilitated interviews and human-led mock interviews will be shared in terms of language proficiency, interview skills, and confidence in foreign language use. We\u27ll also demonstrate how to create a customized AI chatbot and discuss issues around using AI in language learning and career coaching
Empowering Students to Engage Critically: Integrating AI Competencies into Collaborative Assignments

Decoding AI: Insights into Answer Variability Using Text Analytics 4:00
No full textMany believe that generative AI platforms have the potential to revolutionize education by providing a personalized supplement to traditional education. Therefore, it is important to investigate the accuracy of output from generative AI platforms and the variations in results from the same prompt on different platforms. We examined differences in answers to statistics questions among several commonly used AI platforms employing text analytics, such as reading level evaluation, word counts, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis. In this session, we will introduce a Shiny App to perform these analytics for output from any generative AI platform
Talk Like a Human: Generating Shared Rhetorical Visions of AI in the Education
No full textGenerative AI is transforming education, but misaligned perceptions between instructors and students can hinder its ethical and effective use. This session shares findings from a qualitative study analyzing faculty and student rhetoric about AI, using fantasy theme and metaphor analysis to uncover areas of shared understanding, conflict, and collaboration. Drawing on instructional communication theories, we\u27ll present practical strategies for fostering shared rhetorical visions of AI. Attendees will leave with actionable talking points and communication techniques to bridge divides, align expectations, and promote ethical, humanistic integration of AI in in-person, hybrid, and online classrooms
