Teaching Writing with Artificial Intelligence
This list is a work in progress as we continue to explore the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence in the writing classroom. Here are a few resources to get started in thinking about how you might approach the use of AI in your classroom:
- A continually growing categorized list of articles on AI in education
- A listserv dedicated to issues surrounding teaching writing and AI
- The Writing Across the Curriculum Clearinghouse discussion on AI and teaching writing
- Exploring AI Pedagogy: A Community Collection of Teaching Reflections (an initiative of the MLA-CCC joint task force on AI and Writing)
- This WAC Clearing House features 34 undergraduate-level assignments to support students' AI literacy, rhetorical and ethical engagements, creative exploration, and professional writing, along with an introduction to guide instructors' understanding and their selection of what to emphasize in their courses.
- The University of Maine project website is a toolkit of resources for faculty who want to implement generative AI practices in their classrooms.
- This padlet collects several university-wide AI policies and course syllabus AI policies from across the country that might be worth perusing as you develop your own course policy.
