AI Literacy in the Age of ChatGPT: A Guide for Instructors

Teaching Writing with AI - Strategies

"The goal of teaching writing is not merely to "fix" or "polish" student essays, but to produce better writers — writers who can write clear and intelligent prose, who can produce sophisticated and challenging arguments, and who can take part in the larger intellectual "conversation" that the college experience is designed to sustain and promote" (WAC Guidelines). How is this accomplished in an AI world? By strategically redesigning assignments to include iterative drafts and self-assessment opportunities, which encourage students to engage deeply with their own thought processes and growth.
