Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is a cutting-edge technology that is guaranteed to disrupt education. Instructional technologists and librarians are best suited to share new technologies with their learning communities. Paths for adoption are not always smooth. The needs, abilities, and openness to change need to be ascertained, as well as the choice of which genAI applications to use in learning and teaching. The Diffusion of Innovations theory is used as a guide to not only identify those learners who may be best suited to apply the new technology, but also to choose the tools that may best serve the learning community. The profile of the user as well as the technology itself are important factors. It explains and reminds instructional technologists and librarians of best practices so that learners will understand and apply genAI. The chapter includes a framework for success in learning what the community needs and how to lead in the acceptance and use of genAI. Particular genAI tools that best serve learning communities, other readings, and resources are also included.
