Academic libraries have taken a variety of approaches to addressing the opportunities and challenges of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in higher education. For universities that have no standard policy around GenAI, instructors are left with little guidance on how to teach students about GenAI in the classroom and may have varying…

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) face many barriers to meaningful inclusion, including limited language and communication skills. Professionals, such as speech-language pathologists (SLPs), can provide personalized instruction to promote skill development and inclusion. Providing opportunities for individuals to…

In this study, two literacy teacher educators developed a lesson plan activity to be completed during a focus group interview. Protocols for the focus group were developed using the AI literacy framework. The purpose of the study was to explore preservice teachers' (PSTs) interactions with GenAI and how GenAI functioned as evaluators of their…
