The JWAI24 Conference
Teaching in the Age of AI
An International Conference on Teaching, Writing, and Artificial Intelligence
25 October 2024
University of Florida
The University Writing Program at the University of Florida invites you to submit a proposal on any topic at the intersection of teaching, writing, and artificial intelligence. Since AI is already influencing our work today, and the future looks interesting, let’s have a conversation about it.
Call for Proposals
Whether discussing teaching, writing, or both, AI seems an inescapable topic. Between considerable interest and none, chances are that AI has upended, threatened, enhanced, or even transformed, in some measure, your work and the work of your students. Now that AI is entrenched, how has your teaching changed? Do you have any concerns? Are you excited? Has the use of AI in your classroom been a burden, boon, or bust?
Last year, we hosted a conference on writing in the age of AI. This year, we would like to focus more on teaching in the age of AI: teaching AI, teaching with AI, teaching for AI, teaching against AI, and teaching despite AI. We are looking for both forests and trees, approaches and assignments. We are as interested in your philosophies as your lessons. There are no litmus or ideology tests.
We invite proposals that address AI and teaching thoughtfully, dynamically, and compellingly. To these ends, we are interested in topics that not only span but also go beyond this list of possibilities:
Pedagogy
Lesson Planning with AI
Creating Assignments with AI
Lecture and Discussion Topic Ideation with AI
Revisiting Traditional Techniques with AI
What assignments have you invented for or against AI? What have you revised? What have you stopped?
Philosophy, Philosophies, Pragmatism, and Protection
Where are we now?
Where are we going?
What are we protecting?
What can we let go?
What should we be doing to prepare students for the future? How?
