IWT CLASP Workshop: AI: Your Most Disruptive Student

We may be tempted to ignore the presence and the voice of our most disruptive – and perhaps most vocal and provocative – student: AI. Yet doing so does not serve teachers or learners. In this workshop, we use disruptive in the sense of disruptive technologies: forces that challenge old patterns and open possibilities for innovation. Together, we will explore how AI can be woven into teaching and learning as a partner in creative and critical thinking. Participants will experience what it’s like to include an AI bot as an active participant in collaborative writing-based practices such as dialectical notebooks and writing-to-read activities. The goal of the workshop is to help educators respond to concerns about plagiarism by establishing constructive boundaries around the use of AI and harnessing its potential for more engaged learning.

Note: Participants are asked to set up a ChatGPT account and to familiarize themselves briefly with the software prior to the workshop.

This workshop is a part of the workshop series offered by The Center for Liberal Arts and Sciences Pedagogy (CLASP), a project of the Bard College Institute for Writing & Thinking (IWT), works with faculty and institutions across GHEA21 to promote student-centered teaching methods, writing-based teaching, and experiential learning perspectives.
