Teaching AI-supported Academic Writing

AI tools like ChatGPT impact academic writing by offering support, from brainstorming to grammar correction, but also raise concerns around misuse and source verification. Teaching must adapt to help students use these tools ethically and responsibly.

This hands-on workshop focuses on incorporating AI tools into your teaching practice. Participants should bring their syllabus and ideas for using AI in class. We’ll explore practical teaching scenarios and how to clearly communicate expectations to students.

Note: This is not an introduction to AI tools, but a discussion on their classroom use.

• Frano Petar Rismondo, writing scholar and coordinator of the Student Research Hub, CTL, University of Vienna

• Erika Unterpertinger, team lead of the writing assistants at CTL and researcher on student writing processes

• Reflect on AI’s impact on student writing

• Explore scenarios for teaching ethical AI use
