AI in Writing-based Courses

Event Description

Generative AI is here to stay, but it poses some profound questions about how to teach writing-based classes. This workshop is intended to be a discussion for instructors who teach courses where students frequently write – whether it’s final papers, short reflections, or discussion forum posts.

We’ll start with a discussion of why writing matters in our courses. From there we’ll share ideas and strategies for guiding students’ engagement with GenAI, ranging from assignment design to steer students away from GenAI to assignments that require students to use AI. The workshop facilitator will provide examples of assignments, but the meeting is intended to be highly collaborative, with the goal of all participants developing and sharing ideas on this topic that is still new to many of us.
