As a highly successful start to the collaboration between The Department of Library and Information Studies, The University of the West Indies, Mona and GO opleidingen, an online workshop titled ‘AI & Digital Information Literacy’ took place on June 25, 2025.
No fewer than 93 participants from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, St.Lucia, Guyana, and SouthAfrica attended the interactive workshop, delivered by GO instructor Eva Bosgraaf with assistance from Eric Kokke.
Despite the large group, Eva managed to engage all participants in the session using Mentimeter and group assignments in breakout rooms, facilitating experience and knowledge sharing among attendees.
This first workshop marks the beginning of a series of international educational activities that will take place in the coming months. It served as a valuable lesson in handling different time zones, currencies, and cultural backgrounds within a single event.
A successful start that leaves us wanting more! Special thanks to the GO | School for Information colleagues Célestine Idroes and Cheryl Peltier-Davis and our colleagues at the Department of Library and Information Studies at UWI, Mona, Jamaica for their collaborative efforts in planning and coordinating this event .
One participant summed up their workshop experience in these words “Amazing session. Very interactive and informative”.
