Woohoo! 🙌 Canada Week is set to continue! 🇨🇦

We are delighted to welcome the one and only Dr Orland Hoeber from the University of Regina, Canada, to campus for an interactive discussion on one of the most pressing issues in academic search:

How is generative AI changing the nature of academic research? 🤖🔎

Academic research is evolving rapidly as tools powered by generative AI make it easier to search the literature, synthesise findings and obtain concise answers. But what might we lose when the research process shifts from exploration, discovery, making sense of information and learning towards simply asking an AI assistant for answers?

In this interactive, flipped-classroom-style discussion, we will explore the changing nature of academic research through the lens of:
👁️ Transparency and trust
✅ Credibility and research integrity
🧑‍💻 Human agency and friction
🧠 Mechanisms for fostering higher-order cognitive processes
