Description: The rapid emergence of freely available tools for AI-generated writing (most recently, the release of the current version of ChatGPT) promises to upend higher education in fundamental ways, similarly to other technological innovations such as computers and the world wide web. As instructors, how can we ensure that writing continues to play a valuable role in both assessing student mastery, and giving students ways to think through ideas? How might the ways that we assign writing in our courses change to reflect this new landscape, and how can we prepare students to write in a workforce in which AI is a moral part of the writing process? Please come to the workshop with the student instructions for any current writing assignment in your courses, and plan to leave having thought through how you might change it to reflect student access to AI writing tools.
