UW Presidential Fellow Mia Williams and UW Associate Dean of CEPS Danny Dale will join Doug Eyman\, the Director of Writing and Rhetoric Programs at George Mason University\, in supporting AI knowledge development at the University of Wyoming. This academy and Doug's visit are supported by the Office of the President\, the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning\, the Department of English\, the College of Business\, and the Communication Across the Curriculum program. \n\nNOTE: We will do our best to provide recordings to those who select this option\, but recordings are not guaranteed. Registration is appreciated by Friday\, April 5th for meal planning purposes.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns\, please visit our website\, email us\, or call 766-4847.\n\n\nSchedule\n\n9:00-9:50AM MST | Workshop | Integrating AI Into the Classroom | Doug Eyman (George Mason University\, Department of English)\n\nIn this session\, Doug will describe and illustrate three assignments—from multiple disciplines—that engage students with various AI platforms and capacities while also building students' critical awareness of these technologies. Doug brings expertise as a Digital Rhetorics scholar\, a director of Writing and Rhetoric Programs at GMU\, a co-editor of a recent AI-focused issue of Computers and Composition\, and the author of a chapter in TextGenEd: Teaching with Text Generation Technologies about an AI activity in his technical communication course.\n\n10:00-10:50AM MST | Workshop | Incorporating ChatGPT in an Introductory STEM Course | Danny Dale (UW Dept of Physics and Astronomy)\n\nIn this session\, Dale will share his experience incorporating ChatGPT into a calculus-based introductory physics course for science and engineering majors. The session will focus on the unique approach taken by the presenter\, where students are required to use ChatGPT to generate the introductory portion of their lab reports and\, more importantly\, to critically evaluate and critique the AI-generated writing. The presenter will discuss the surprising insights and takeaways reported by students\, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges.\n\n11:00-11:50AM MST | Workshop | Using AI Tools to Promote Learning | Mia Williams (UW School Of Counseling\, Leadership\, Advocacy\, and Design)\n\nEmbark on a journey through the frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning in a workshop exploring the current influence of generative AI tools. This interactive session begins with learning practical tips for integrating generative AI and collaborating with peers to brainstorm strategies and imagine the future direction of AI in teaching and learning. Bring your laptop to play hands-on with sample tools in the second half of this workshop. Participants will discover example projects and practical strategies for implementing AI tools effectively in a variety of disciplines. Iterating ideas for both text and image generation\, participants can create their own AI-driven learning activities specific to their teaching practice. Collaboration and sharing will be encouraged throughout the session.\n\n12:00-1:30PM MST | Keynote Luncheon | In a world with AI\, what is the point of writing? | Doug Eyman (George Mason University\, Department of English)\n\nAcross college campuses\, teachers have long valued writing as a way to deepen students’ learning as well as to evaluate students’ knowledge. With the advent of readily available generative AI\, how should faculty revise their definition of “writing” and their approaches to assigning writing? At this keynote\, AI and Digital Rhetorics scholar Doug Eyman argues that writing continues to deserve a central place in post-secondary curricula—but that we must be willing to revise some common assumptions about what writing is and does.\n\nKeynote Speaker:\nDoug Eyman is Director of Writing and Rhetoric Programs at GMU. He teaches courses in digital rhetoric\, technical and scientific communication\, web authoring\, new media\, and professional writing. His current research interests include the affordances and constraints of composing with AI/LLMs\, new media scholarship\, teaching in digital environments\, and video games as sites of composition. With Dr. Nupoor Ranade\,he recently co-edited a special "Composing with Generative AI" issue of Computers and Composition and is currently working on an edited collection about AI in Writing Studies.\n\n\n\n\n\nIs this your first time registering for an ECTL even in the 2023-24 Academic Year?
