AM26 Workshop

Designing Assessment and Learning Activities in the Age of AI

In an era where AI can generate both assessments and answers, how do we ensure authentic learning? This hands-on workshop brings academics, students, and library professionals together to co-design AI-resilient assessments and learning activities. Through design sprints, cross-disciplinary feedback, participants will create practical templates and actionable ideas for their context.

More About this Workshop

Service learning and eService learning are high impact pedagogies that bridge theory and practice through structured community engagement in both physical and digital environments. In the age of AI, these approaches are critical for developing ethical information practices, critical thinking, and socially responsive LIS professionals.

This workshop presents a structured framework for integrating service learning into LIS curricula, including course redesign, community partnership development, and assessment strategies. Participants will examine implementation models, analyze case examples from Information Literacy and User Education courses, and collaboratively develop a service learning integrated course plan.

The session emphasizes alignment with learning outcomes, reflective practice, ethical engagement, and sustainable institutional support. By the end, participants will produce a practical design template and an actionable implementation plan adaptable to their institutional context.
