New Way to Teach Writing by Incorporating AI

AI is here, and it is here to stay, which means that academia needs to incorporate it so that students learn about AI’s capability and are ready to use it properly.

Using AI in Education is NOT an All or Nothing Endeavor

In working with many different instructors around the world, I still run into a lot of teachers and professors that think that using AI and teaching about AI Literacy in the classroom is an all or nothing endeavor.

The reality is that there is a full continuum of how an instructor can use and implement generative AI within their classroom.
