The KNIGHTLYnews is an online forum where FWS instructors and other teachers of writing can swap and share ideas for best classroom practice. Weekly posts are designed to help teachers develop lesson plans and writing assignments, and respond to classroom challenges by introducing new teaching tools and sharing emerging pedagogical ideas. Posts also direct readers to program and campus resources that support teaching and learning, and provide opportunities for peer collaboration and mentorship. #teachlikeabear
Join the Center for Teaching Innovation and the John S. Knight Institute for one or both of these hands-on workshops.
Generative A.I. in a Writing Classroom
CTI and the John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines invite writing instructors across disciplines to come together as a community and discuss strategies for teaching writing in the age of A.I. These workshops are an opportunity to learn more about generative A.I. as it applies to writing courses; hear what other instructors have tried; ask questions and share ideas; and participate in the co-creation of a generative A.I. toolkit for writing courses. We encourage you to sign up for and attend both sessions, as they build upon each other, but you can also attend just one. Please bring your laptop to both sessions.

- Description: In Part 1, we will discuss what generative A.I. can do and how writing instructors and students have been using these tools. Short presentations showcasing generative A.I.-related strategies will kick off a group working session, followed by a larger discussion that will set the stage for the second session.
- Creating a Generative A.I. Toolkit for Writing Courses (Part 2 of 2)
- Register here: Thursday, February 22, 2024, 2:00 - 3:15 p.m., in person.

Please forward to colleagues and collaborators!
