"One of the chief pleasures of traveling to schools and campuses to talk about More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI and my approaches to how we should approach the teaching of writing is getting the chance to see what other places are doing with the challenge of working in a world of generative AI technology."
"One clear commonality for successfully addressing the current challenges is by identifying the core institutional values and then making them central to the ongoing discussions about how instruction and institutional operations must evolve. As one example, at my recent visit to Iona University, I was introduced to their framework of agency, expression and responsibility. "Agency" is one of my favorite words when talking about learning, period, and in this case it means communicating to students that it is ultimately the students themselves who must choose"
Higher education is moving into a phase of reasoned consideration following earlier worry and uncertainty about generative AI. Institutions are shifting from defensive postures to proactive strategies aligned with core institutional values. Successful approaches identify and center those values in decisions about instruction and operations. One example frames priorities as agency, expression, and responsibility. Agency emphasizes that students must choose paths for their educations, including how to use AI. Work is underway to determine what must be preserved in writing instruction and how to adapt practices to an era of generative AI.
