This year’s Annual Meeting of the Alabama Association of College & Research Libraries (AACRL) featured a presentation by Tom Mackey entitled Developing Metaliteracy to Teach and Learn with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). The talk explores the challenges of GenAI including issues related to authoring, accuracy, and attribution and reviews two models for AI Literacy. In addition, the metaliteracy framework is discussed as a comprehensive approach to support teaching and learning with GenAI. As examples of metaliteracy in practice, student images that applied GenAI are introduced from the course Ethics of Digital Art and Design in the Digital Media Arts Program at Empire State University.

Here’s the complete slide deck for the presentation:

The newest book by Tom Mackey and Trudi Jacobson Metaliteracy in a Connected World: Developing Learners as Producers was recognized as part of this year’s Divergent Lecture Series for the 2024 divergent honorees. A recording of the “Divergent Conversation” is now available via YouTube. According to Shelbie Witte, Ph.D., from The Initiative for Literacy in a Digital Age: “Our desire for this new type of lecture event is to provide an opportunity for us all to come together and discuss the current state of digital literacies and where the field can go from here.” Tom Mackey participated in this open-ended dialogue with the awardees and explored a wide range of issues from the impact of generative artificial intelligence on literacy frameworks to teaching literacies in the K-12 and higher education environments.

This year, Metaliteracy in a Connected World: Developing Learners as Producers published by ALA Neal-Schuman received the 2024 Divergent Publication Award for Excellence in Literacy in a Digital Age Research.
