Interdisciplinary Approaches to Navigating ChatGPT

The rapid development of generative AI promises to forever change the way we teach. As we know, writing is more than a product—writing is a way of learning and creating new meaning. How might teachers and students respond productively to generative AI, both to consider new ways of writing and to ensure students learn course outcomes? This workshop will focus on approaches to navigating generative AI from a variety of disciplines: Business, Agriculture & Applied Science, Community Advocacy, Engineering, and Writing Studies. The workshop will begin with presenters from each discipline providing a brief overview of the pedagogical challenges and possibilities of utilizing AI for teaching and student learning. Following this overview, presenters will join participants for small-group discussions to develop discipline-specific strategies for navigating AI in the classroom. Guiding questions: How might we use AI responsibly as a tool for learning? What potential benefits does AI have for your discipline? What ethical considerations might we consider?
