Writing about Teaching Workshop 3: AI-supported Literature Reviews

Are you interested in writing about your teaching but don’t know where to start—or how to make the time? Would you like to take the next step in your scholarship around teaching in community with fellow instructors?

Join us for our Writing about Teaching Workshops this spring. Each 90-minute interactive session will provide guidance and structured time to advance your writing, followed by an additional optional 90-minute work time.

Attend one or all—whatever fits your schedule and goals! Whether you have data to share as part of a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) or Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) project or would like to write a scholarly narrative around teaching, this is the place for you.

How can AI streamline the literature review process while maintaining the rigor essential for teaching-related research? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore and test AI tools designed to help you synthesize research, locate your work in the context of key debates, and arrange your sources to form a compelling argument. Through guided, real-time application, we’ll assess the strengths and limitations of major AI tools, learning how to integrate them effectively into your writing process. By the end of the session, you’ll have a working draft of your lit review started, along with concrete strategies and AI-assisted workflows to refine and expand it beyond the workshop.

Please note that if we don't have enough participants, we will cancel the session.
