Breeann Austin, an Instruction Librarian, and Thomas Alexander, an Information Literacy Intern, from CSU Channel Islands created a Canvas module on how to use (and not use) AI during the research process. The module is shared as three Word documents: (1) What is AI, (2) ChatGPT and Research, (3) Library's AI Research Assistant (also called the Primo AI Research Assistant). The pages include text, videos, further readings, "let's experiment" activities, and Thinglink interactive images to engage students and provide multiple learning pathway options. Screenshots of the Thinglink images are provided with links to accessible versions of the interactive content.

Breeann Austin, the Instruction and Assessment Librarian from California State University, Channel Islands created active learning questions relevant to database searching and the research process. Using PlayPosit, these questions were embedded into two video tutorials on how to search library databases. These embedded questions allow students to actively engage with the videos and self-check their understanding of the material. Additionally, a questions template was created so librarians could reuse the questions in future video tutorials and instruction sessions.
