Rethinking Writing Instruction in the Age of AI

<p><strong>In <em>Rethinking Writing Instruction in the Age of AI</em> Laist offers composition instructors practical ways to address AI panic as well as insight into how to embrace it as an opportunity to strengthen writing and critical thinking skills.</strong> </p><p></p><p>Composition and writing instructors have long been challenged to find effective ways of engaging and empowering student writers. In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) this challenge has become even more complicated with too many students-and too many people in general-feeling shut out of writing. Writing is an invaluable academic skill but as writing expert Randy Laist points out it is also much more than that. It is a tool for thinking a means of personal expression and a vehicle of self-discovery. </p><p></p><p>In addition to reframing the use of AI and providing an understanding of the challenges present in the classroom and writing Laist shows how Universal Design for Learning provides a framework that can help unpack the writing process and support instruction. This book offers numerous hands-on writing activities that are not only engaging but also AI proof. </p>
