In this session, I will show the process I use for having my students in an introductory college course collaborate with me to update the open textbook. The steps include using social annotation to flag outdated references, finding articles to update the textbook, and organizing the information in the article for textbook updating. I will share data on how students' information literacy skills appeared to change since the beginning of the semester as well as student comments about the project. I will also demonstrate the AI tools students had available to assist them in the process (Scite.ai and Scispace).
Beginners, Advanced, Professionals
