Students explore how artificial intelligence is changing the writing process - and what that means for writers and educators
How do you prepare future middle and high school teachers to teach writing in an age when AI can generate an essay in seconds?
At the University of Delaware, an English course designed for pre-service teachers is answering that question not by banning the technology, but by teaching them how they can guide their future students into using it responsibly.
The course, titled "Adapting GenAI in the Teaching and Learning of Writing," is taught by Ju-A Hwang, assistant professor in the Department of English in the College of Arts and Sciences. Open to all UD students, the class analyzes the benefits and limits of various AI tools on the process and instruction of writing, from brainstorming to final product, and critically examines ethical concerns about AI use.
