The rise of AI usage introduces new challenges in the teaching of writing. This workshop will discuss questions related to writing pedagogy and AI: can they coexist? What strategies can be implemented to encourage students to learn writing skills? How can instructors grade writing fairly in a landscape where AI tools significantly alter students’ assignments? What effect does AI usage have on creativity, critical thinking and information retention? Is it possible to incorporate AI in writing pedagogy without compromising student engagement with the act of writing? How can students actively engage with ideas—and develop their own—while using AI technology to facilitate their writing?
