ChatGPT and Meaningful Writing: How to Work with Artificial Intelligence through Assignment Design
Friday, February 10, 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Instructors across the world are understandably worried about ChatGPT, the newest text-generating interactive chatbot. Responses to the tool have ranged from alarm (including doomsday claims that “The College Essay is Dead”) to hope that artificial intelligence (AI) will prompt a much-needed transformation of college-level writing. While addressing instructor concerns about AI-generated text, this webinar will provide assignment design strategies that encourage intrinsic motivation for student writing. Drawing on both national and local research on what makes writing meaningful and transparent to students, we will discuss a number of assignment options and best practices, including working with students to focus assignment prompts, facilitating multimedia projects, and allowing students to play with AI tools in their writing. Instructors are encouraged to bring their own writing assignments and questions to the webinar to discuss and workshop. Register to attend the webinar.
