The demand for STEM qualified employees has grown significantly over the years. That is one of the main reasons schools are pushing STEM programs, especially for female students. The number of job vacancies has reach the millions point. This has caused a large gap in qualified employees to head the charge in artificial intelligence.

Overview: Courses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Librarianship in ALA-accredited Masters of Library and Information (MLIS) degrees are rare. We have all been surprised by ChatGPT and similar Large Language Models. Generative AI is an important new area for librarianship. It is also developing so rapidly that no one can really keep up. Those trying to produce AI courses for the MLIS degree need all the help they can get. This book is a gesture of support. It consists of about 100,000 words on the topic, with a 4-500 item bibliography. It is the 2024 Second Edition of a 2023 book. It is about 100 pages longer than the first edition.

Host Brenna Clarke Gray (Thompson Rivers University) and guest Autumm Caines (University of Michigan - Dearborn) explore the pedagogical implications of generative AI in this conversation in honour of Open Education Week. They ask such questions as: - What happens when we leap into new technologies without first pausing to imagine harms, such as surveillance, bias, and discrimination? - Can recentering the core values of the open education movement—equity, inclusion, transparency, and social justice—in our pedagogy help us move forward in a good way? - How do we introduce these considerations to our students and empower them to make informed decisions with new technologies?

In CampGPT, educators experimented with generative AI-enabled tools like chatbots and image generators to learn and explore together. Their work and insights have been compiled in the Open Prompt Book from CampGPT. Throughout this prompt book, you’ll learn more about generative AI, what educators use it for, and key tips and tricks. The “Try It Out” links enable you to try the prompts in your own account (links for ChatGPT and Bard are provided). This means that, if you like an idea, you can start with the prompt in the book and then continue interacting with a chatbot to further adapt the output to your needs. In addition to the open prompts, we’ve included quotes from the educators from whom the ideas and prompts in this book were crowdsourced.

Garnet Valley School District in PA established a deep commitment to open education when it first joined the #GoOpen Network over eight years ago to advance an OER initiative. Still on an innovative journey to transform teaching and learning, the district’s Director of Technology and Online Learning and Founder and Executive Director of nonprofit Edvative Learning, Sam Mormando is actively exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technology and reflecting on ways it may be advantageous for education, and specifically, for OER.

The Northeast OER Summit is a gathering of Open Educational Resources practitioners from the Northeast region of the United States. Initiated in 2017, the planning committee consists of OER advocates (administrators, librarians, instructional designers, faculty and staff) from the Northeast. This resource is a session presentation that discusses the intersection of OER and AI.

On the eve of the CC Global Summit, members of the CC global community and Creative Commons held a one-day workshop to discuss issues related to AI, creators, and the commons. The community attending the Summit has a long history of hosting these intimate discussions before the Summit begins on critical and timely issues. Emerging from that deep discussion and in subsequent conversation during the three days of the Summit, this group identified a set of common issues and values, which are captured in the statement below. These ideas are shared here for further community discussion and to help CC and the global community navigate uncharted waters in the face of generative AI and its impact on the commons.

With over 305,000 open educational resources cataloged on OER Commons since 2007, ISKME works to make learning and knowledge sharing more participatory, equitable, and open, in pursuit of a more just society. Those resources don’t describe themselves, though. The metadata of every resource in OER Commons was put together by someone before it got added to our collection, and then a librarian at ISKME reviewed it for quality – and that’s a lot of work, both in and out of house! How much work? Well, if a librarian were to spend just five minutes on each record that ever found its way into our collection, that would take 25,433 hours. That’s enough time to… - do 123 round trips to the moon (time to finally take that leave you’ve been saving) - get 3,178 full nights of sleep (unless you’re a cat, then it’s only 1,413) - walk 8 times from Cape Town to Copenhagen (we’re gonna need a bigger passport) - work full-time for over 13 years (don’t worry, that excludes 4 weeks vacation) All of that to say, metadata takes time. It can be a challenge to balance metadata creation with other tasks like maintaining existing records, curation work, and supporting educational partners with curation. As such, we’re always on the lookout for tools and techniques that boost our capacity without compromising quality. In 2023 and 2024, we’re testing out how generative AI tools like large language models can support our work in the OER landscape. This poster highlights some of the places where we’ve had successes, along with possible future applications that we think are both useful and doable.

The People's Guide to Artificial Intelligence is an educational and speculative approach to understanding artificial intelligence (AI) and its growing impact on society. The 78-page booklet explores the forms AI takes today and the role AI-based technologies can play in fostering equitable futures. The project resists narratives of dystopian futures by using popular education, design, and storytelling to lay the groundwork for creative imaginings.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview: "The Materials Research Society is proud to announce the 2020 MRS Communications Lecture honorees, Drs. Chun-Teh Chen and Grace Gu from the University of California, Berkeley. The honor recognizes excellence in the field of materials research through work published in MRS Communications. Drs. Chen and Gu are recognized this year for their prospective paper on how researchers are harnessing artificial intelligence to accelerate the design and discovery of composite materials. Their work is featured in volume nine, issue two of MRS Communications. Composites are combinations of two or more base materials, whose collective properties exceed those possessed by either material alone. Composites are widely used as structural materials in the automotive and aerospace industries and can also be easily found in nature. Limitations in manufacturing methods have generally restricted the architecture these materials take on in real-world applications. Most commonly, they’re processed into multilayer sheets..."

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview: "Congenital heart defects affect approximately 1% of all babies born each year and account for almost 20% of all newborn deaths. Early diagnosis while still in the womb can greatly improve an affected baby’s chance of survival. Unfortunately, diagnosis relies exclusively on ultrasound imaging, where accurate readings aren’t guaranteed. Researchers in Japan are tackling this problem by enlisting the help of artificial intelligence. More importantly, they’re helping the doctors entrusted with patient care to understand how AI programs spot heart defects. Advancements in artificial intelligence have improved how congenital heart defects are diagnosed. Ultrasound videos of fetal hearts beating normally and others with structural defects can be studied with AI, which can then determine whether the fetal hearts in new videos are abnormal or not..."
