Description

This panel of writing program administrators will offer benefits of working with AI as a research and teaching tool. One panelist will explore the concept of AI’s potential to acknowledge and build upon the concept of culturally-based storytelling and could be a way of capturing the polyphony. However, as it currently exists, AI, specifically ChatGPT, is quite epistemologically and culturally exclusive, and does not fully explore this idea. Another panelist will bring forward questions and considerations for AI and writing in different levels of coursework, undergraduate and graduate. The third panelist will talk about a plan to investigate students’ uses of technologies that assist them in writing tasks in the first-year writing program alongside students’ perceptions of affordances and limitations of AI tools. The final panelist will discuss how ChatGPT creates opportunities to reflect on the intersections of further software-based ways of writing and knowing in writing centers.
