Workshop

Teaching Writing in a Time of Generative AI

We invite you to join Assistant Professor and Writing Across the Curriculum Director Heidi Nobles and CTE Assistant Director Jessica Taggart in exploring what it means to teach writing in a time of generative AI.

During this interactive session, you will be introduced to a suite of AI tools and prompts as we talk about "what writing is" as both an activity and as a product across disciplines. You will learn how writing studies pedagogy can help support your teaching within and well beyond the traditional writing classroom and have semi-structured opportunities to begin applying these ideas and tools to your own course material.

If you assign ANY kind of content creation in your courses (visualizing data; sketching out models; giving prepared oral presentations; designing and coding programs; as well as more traditional forms of writing like essays–in any language), this workshop is for you.

Participants are invited to stay for an optional lunch following the session, from 11:30 AM-12:00 PM. This workshop is offered jointly by Writing Across the Curriculum and CTE.
