Details

How do large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT work, and how are undergraduates using them now? How might faculty take advantage of the benefits of LLMs to boost learning across the curriculum? How might we do so ethically? Facilitated by Annette Vee, Princeton Class of ’99, Associate Professor of English, and Director of the Composition Program at the University of Pittsburgh, this workshop will provide support for adapting your assignments to foster AI literacy and subject knowledge. We’ll consider learning goals, how AI changes your students' context for writing, and how you might rework your assignments to account for this new landscape. Co-sponsored with the Princeton Writing Program.

Princeton Class of ’99

Annette Vee is Associate Professor of English and Director of the Composition Program at the University of Pittsburgh, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in writing, digital composition, materiality, and literacy. Her research is at the intersection of computation and writing and speaks to fields as disparate as literary studies, digital humanities, computer science, education, and law. She is the author of Coding Literacy: How Computer Programming is Changing Writing (MIT Press, 2017), and has published on computer programming, blockchain technologies, intellectual property, and AI-based text generators in Interfaces, Literacy in Composition Studies, WAC Clearinghouse, enculturation, and Computational Culture. Her work is taught in dozens of university courses across the world and she frequently gives invited talks and workshops on the intersections of computation, writing, and pedagogy. Her current monograph project, Automating Writing from Androids to AI, examines why and how humans have sought to automate writing across history. A co-edited collection on teaching with AI and other text generation technologies, TextGenEd, was published with WAC Clearinghouse in Aug 2023.
