Description
Generative AI’s emergence has engendered various concerns in higher education. Among these is the impact of these tools on the writing assignments traditionally used in our courses. After all, students could ask ChatGPT or another service for output to use in an essay or discussion forum post.However, these concerns may reflect problematic and dated approaches to writing, for best practices in teaching composition may guide our response to generative AI. This presentation will provide a framework of strategies to use in adapting writing assignments to meet this moment. Participants will come to not abandon but rather reinvigorate writing assignments.
Learning Outcomes:
- Discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by generative AI for the use of writing assessments.
- Describe instructional approaches and strategies that could support using writing assessments in the age of AI.
- Develop ideas and plans for how to design and implement writing assessments in the future.
