Questioning the Blank Page: Generative AI as Part of the Writing and Reading Process

A Virtual Workshop

Zoom

As generative AI continues to reshape education, understanding its impact and potential in writing instruction has never been more critical. Dr. Jeanne Beatrix Law of Kennesaw State University will open with data on student attitudes toward generative AI, gathered from over 1,500 first-year students. Building on these insights, Dr. Mary Lourdes Silva of Ithaca College will present curricular examples from a research writing course, demonstrating how GAI can be integrated into the reading process. Join us to explore data-driven insights and innovative teaching strategies that harness the potential and acknowledge the limitations of generative AI in the writing classroom.

Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Scholarship, and Teaching to Reach All Writers

A Virtual Workshop

Zoom

This workshop will present research from two of the co-facilitators' recent projects, Materiality and Writing Studies: Aligning Labor, Teaching, and Scholarship (NCTE, 2022) and Reaching All Writers: A Pedagogical Guide to the Evolving College Writing Classroom (USUP 2024). The session will build from research on knowledge production, teaching and learning conditions, and threshold concepts to help participants set goals for their own program around inclusive writing classes and programs.

Participants will be asked to reflect on their current teaching and program conditions in the context of national data and disciplinary issues. They will then use guided questions to conduct a program needs assessment and discuss how to translate their findings into action steps for their program and classroom context.

Facilitators: Cassandra Phillips (UW-Milwaukee) and Holly Hassel (Michigan Tech University)
