The rise of ChatGPT and similar large language models has brought renewed focus on teaching and learning in higher education, especially related to writing instruction. This two-part workshop series is dedicated to helping faculty play and learn more about these AI tools, both in terms of how it impacts student learning as well as how it impacts faculty writing and teaching practices.

Part 1: Explore and Play with AI
Friday, September 6 from 1:15-2:35 pm (Zoom)

Part 1 is for people who are unfamiliar with AI tools and would like hands-on exploration. It provides participants with an introductory opportunity to learn more about how AI works and then actually play around with a few AI tools.

Part 2: Redesign Writing Assignments around AI
Friday, September 13 from 1:15-2:35 pm (Zoom)

Part 2 is for those with some experience and knowledge about AI tools. Attendees will draft AI-related assignments and policies. This session will not include a basic overview of AI, so participants who need an introduction should attend Part 1.

Participants are welcome to attend  both or either, depending on their comfort level with AI tools. Please note that Part 2 requires some previous experience with AI, either in Part 1 other contexts.
