Participants in the “Rethinking Teaching Writing and Research in the Age of AI” faculty learning community will be encouraged to explore foundational practices for teaching writing and research and consider those practices in the context of GenAI via Zoom on select Fridays starting February 13, from noon to 1 p.m.
Topics include:
-
How to teach meaningful writing across disciplines.
-
How to use an information literacy framework to engage students in critical thinking and deep learning.
-
How GenAI is integrated across the research and writing lifecycle.
-
How do AI and research guidance intersect?
Rethinking Teaching Writing and Research in the Age of AI is suitable for faculty and instructors who teach and guide undergraduate and graduate students across the curriculum, and welcomes GenAI skeptics, rejecters, embracers, and everyone in between.
Each meeting consists of a robust discussion and one or two readings, such as articles or book chapters, to anchor the conversation.

The first meeting may take approximately 15 minutes longer to provide an overview of the learning community and establish a routine/schedule.
