Introducing “AI, Algorithms & You”: A Library Module on Artificial Intelligence.

The Humber & University of Guelph-Humber Library has developed an interactive, self-paced module introducing students to algorithms and AI tools while emphasizing their ethical and responsible use. Through a combination of video, text, audio, and interactive activities, this 60 to 90-minute multimodal module guides students through the development, influences, and inner workings of AI. This includes examining the impact of algorithmic bias and misinformation to better understand its effect on both daily and academic life.

Upon completing the module, learners will be able to: identify citation resources and research support available at the Library; describe the functionality and role of computer algorithms and AI systems; apply techniques to create, communicate, personalize, and share content using AI systems; analyze and articulate the ethical and practical implications of AI systems; assess and manage AI outputs for reliability and biases; and practice academic integrity when using AI for scholarly work.

University of Guelph-Humber students can follow the steps in the self-enrolment guide to gain access to the module via the Self-Registration menu in CourseLink. For Humber Faculty, the module is available as a SCORM or web-link that can be imported into Blackboard course sites. Both options are detailed in the Instructor’s Guide.
