The Future is Now: LibreTexts and AI
Fri March 6, 2026 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm GMT
The intersection of Open Educational Resources (OER) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still emerging, but momentum is growing rapidly. An important step forward came last year with the launch of the AI Co-Author tool, designed to support OER development and improve accessibility remediation. Building on this progress, the LibreTexts development team has introduced a comprehensive AI Initiative to expand and deepen AI integration across the LibreVerse ecosystem.
This presentation reviews the current state of AI development within LibreVerse, highlighting tools already underway and early implementation efforts. It outlines short-term goals focused on pilot programs, platform integration, and faculty support, as well as a long-term vision for a scalable, interoperable, and equity-centered AI infrastructure that advances teaching and learning nationwide.
Planned innovations include context-aware AI tutors embedded in digital textbooks; automated generation and evaluation of formative homework; AI-supported writing and research tools; and AI-guided coding and data science assistance within Jupyter environments. By embedding adaptive tutoring and personalized learning support throughout LibreVerse, the initiative aims to reduce equity gaps and broaden access to high-quality resources. Instructors will gain AI-assisted tools for content creation, grading, analytics, and pedagogical insight, supported by professional development. Grounded in LibreTexts’ OER framework, the initiative emphasizes transparency, interoperability, and evidence-based evaluation to ensure responsible and effective AI integration in open education.
