South Meeting Room, Newcomb Hall

ChatGPT and other generative AI raise all sorts of interesting and challenging questions about "writing"—some of which may not be as new as they seem!

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.

Lunch will be provided.

This workshop is offered jointly by Writing Across the Curriculum and CTE. Email Heidi Nobles at [email protected] with questions.

Please register by Tuesday, February 6.
