SummOER Camp: Opening Pedagogy with AI
Join us as we explore platforms and processes that can help you leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your pedagogy! Allow the Open Library team to spark your inspiration in our tech-focused summer series as you prepare to adopt, adapt, and create OER for the semesters ahead.
Tune in: Music for education and copyright
June 25, 2024
12:00PM EST
Our first session of SummOER Camp Series will explore questions of music generation and copyright. This session will feature two platforms (Suno and Colab) focused on generating music to engage learners. While these tools put you in the driver’s seat when it comes to generating songs and vocal tracks that can aid in learner retention and comprehension, you will also be guided into consideration of intellectual property and copyright.
By the end of this 60-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to thoughtfully implement this style of platform and educational material into your teaching, evaluate their potential impacts on learner retention, and begin creating songs of your own, all with an eye towards copyright considerations.

History and Hallucinations: Error rates and mitigation in AI
July 16, 2024
12:00PM EST
Our second session of the SummOER Camp Series will look at error rates and generative AI – the Open Library team will look at artificial intelligence that cites its work (Perplexity) and a history chatbot that enables learners to simulate a conversation with a historical figure (Hello History). Given AI’s potential for hallucinations, we will explore the use of citations as a way to identify and mitigate risks of misinformation.
By the end of this 60-minute workshop, you will have tools to evaluate AI hallucinations, you will be able to analyze the risks of misinformation, and create opportunities for your students to interact with and cite resources.

August 22, 2024
12:00PM EST
In our third and final session of our SummOER Camp Series, we will be exploring personal tutoring AI platforms and questions around student data and guard rails. From Contact North’s AI Tutor Pro, a free personal learning companion, to other platforms like TutorAI, we will explore questions of student safety and the ways to guide learners in their interactions with content and tutors.
By the end of this 60-minute workshop, you will be able to evaluate platforms for their risks and discuss opportunities with your learners, and implement guard rails and checks in their interactions with these tools.
