Integrating AI Literacy into the Composition Classroom: Successes, Challenges, and Insights


To address the rising use of generative AI by students to write their assignments in English classes, I decided to try something different. Instead of banning AI use – an approach which I have found impractical and ineffective - I integrated activities into the course work to help students better understand the benefits and drawbacks of using AI: when it is a helpful tool, and when it prevents them from gaining critical thinking and writing skills. Together, we developed a class AI policy for the semester.


In this workshop I will discuss the successes and challenges of this approach and the insights I gained. Student perspectives on the project will also be included. You will have the opportunity to engage in the activities and consider how they could be used or adapted for your own discipline and classroom.
