ChatGPT—A Challenging Tool for the University Professors in Their Teaching Practice
The current paper aims to explore the opinion of university professors at a Bulgarian university regarding the possibilities and challenges of ChatGPT in carrying out teaching activities.
Academic writing and ChatGPT: Students transitioning into college in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many unknowns exist about using ChatGPT in academic contexts, especially in writing. This paper hopes to contribute to pedagogical discussions on the current challenges surrounding the use of artificial intelligence technology and how to better support beginner writers in academia.
ChatGPT Has Changed Teaching. Our Readers Tell Us How.
One year after its release, ChatGPT has pushed higher education into a liminal place. While colleges are still hammering out large-scale plans and policies governing how generative AI will be dealt with, professors have been forced more immediately to adapt their classrooms to its presence. Those adaptations vary significantly, depending on whether they see the technology as a tool that can aid learning or as a threat that inhibits it.
CHATGPT HAS ENTERED THE CLASSROOM.
Kudina thinks ChatGPT might also spur educators to revamp their assignments - for instance, by asking students to draw from personal experiences, which is information AI can't pick up from training data

Information and Media Literacy in the Age of AI: Options for the Future
We find that digital literacy frameworks have been slow to react to artificial intelligence and its repercussions, and we recommend a number of strategies for the future. These strategies center around a more agile, responsive, and participatory approach to digital literacy framework development and maintenance.

MLA Guide to Digital Literacy by Ellen C. Carillo
Call Number: ZA4065.C37 2019
ISBN: 9781603294393
Publication Date: 2019-10-01
Students face challenges assessing, responding to, and producing information in today's fast-paced, complex digital landscape. This guide helps students understand why digital literacy is a critically important skill: their education, future careers, and participation in democratic processes rely on it. Hands-on, structured activities give students strategies for evaluating the credibility of sources, detecting fake news, understanding bias, and more. Readings and writing prompts support specific concepts, including how to craft a research question and effectively conduct searches. An appendix contains three sample lesson plans.

Research Libraries Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence
Articulating a set of research library guiding principles for AI is useful to influence policy and advocate for the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies, promote ethical and transparent practices, and build trust among stakeholders, within research libraries as well as across the research environment.
