Description
The mission of a Writing Center is to craft better writers, not just better papers. In order to do this, Writing Centers must continually adapt to the world around them. Daytona State College’s Writing Center is persistently experimenting with teaching opportunities. Generative AI has been shown to assist students and academic support in training and curation of resources. By working with AI’s strengths and better understanding its weaknesses, students will be better equipped and learn to use such programs as a tool to implement rather than a crutch to lean on.
