Reflection

Take five minutes to look at your browser tabs and reflect on the results of the showdown tests.

• How did your search string or AI prompt change?
• Which platforms seemed to produce the most relevant results?
• What features were most useful to get started on the research process?
• Compare your impressions of topics you knew a lot about vs nothing about.
• How did the conversational and authoritative tone of the AI outputs influence your search?
• What are the challenges you encountered in evaluating AI outputs vs traditional literature search?
• What are areas you would like to use (or avoid using) AI to facilitate the research process?
• What are the opportunities AI assistants open for your research?
• Do the AI assistants impact your ability to learn effectively or your research autonomy?

Each group will share one reflection they found interesting.
