Bovay Seminar Series: GenAI for Teaching and Learning Community of Practice

We are inviting instructors across disciplines to come together as a community of practice to build expertise around teaching in the age of Generative AI. These monthly lunches will provide a great opportunity to learn more about GenAI as it applies to multiple disciplines, hear what other instructors have tried, ask questions and share ideas, and learn about the interests of those thinking about, teaching with (or against), and researching GenAI at Cornell. Refreshments will be provided. In this seminar, Kate Navickas (Writing Centers Director and Senior Lecturer at John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines) will share a first-year writing class curriculum focused on “AI & Writing” developed and taught over the course of six semesters. Dr. Kate Navickas will describe assignment trajectory, pedagogical strategies for fostering authentic student writing, and student writing (from their IRB-approved study) that illustrates students’ evolving sense of accountability and their reflections on their writing identities. This series is co-sponsored by the Center for Teaching Innovation and the Sue G. and Harry E. Bovay Program in the History and Ethics of Professional Engineering. Register here!
