Past Meets Future: Human-AI Interaction, Digital Humanities, and Cultural Heritage
Location: Potomac II

Digital History and Cultural Heritage face complex challenges in access, interpretation, and engagement—posing exciting opportunities for human-AI interaction. By bringing together interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners, we aim to advance methods for discovering cultural heritage collections, designing human-centered tools, and expanding public engagement with the past through AI.

Multivocal Writing: A Workshop on the Thematic Narrative
Location: Potomac II

Join us for the third offering of this successful ASIS&T Workshop. It provides a set of principles and detailed instructions for writing-up qualitative research. The approach is especially sensitive to the "multivocality" of interpretive studies and the ethics of representation. Doctoral students and candidates; early-career scholars; and editors of social scientific manuscripts are encouraged to attend.

ChatGPT, Help Me Teach This Course: Empowering Higher Education with AI
Location: Potomac II

This workshop is designed to enhance the knowledge and applications of ChatGPT in research, teaching, and service from a faculty perspective. We seek to offer direct application of best practices in two key areas of concern: 1) A prompt literacy to interact with ChatGPT in more sophisticated ways and 2) hand-on exercises to apply ChatGPT for practical tasks. In the prompt literacy session, we will provide foundational knowledge on prompting for more efficient usage of ChatGPT in research, teaching, and service by identifying specific prompt patterns and examples. The hand-on exercise will improve understanding of using ChatGPT in higher education contexts by providing opportunities to apply and utilize this tool in participants’ contexts.
