Mills, Anna (Curator). AI Text Generators and Teaching Writing: Starting Points For Inquiry. (2022).
This community driven resource list has extensive resources for teaching writing in light of AI technology. Many of the ideas will be helpful for educators in any field. Topics include basics of AI text generators/large language models, implications for higher education writing assignments, sample policy statements about text generators, using text generators for pedagogical purposes, detecting AI-generated text, and using text generators for help preparing courses and assessing students.

“There is a risk that efforts to design more inclusive, flexible authentic assessments could be rolled back as part of knee-jerk administrative responses to the use of this software by students. If universities want to stay true to their missions of equity, inclusion and access, then we need to keep and develop these alternative assessments. The task now is to design assessment that incorporates AI-generated text. Not least because upon graduation, students will be using this technology in the workplace.”

“Can I use this as a tool for teaching and learning? The answer here, I believe is: ABSOLUTELY. The longer that AI and tools like ChatGPT are around, the more that teachers will try new teaching and learning strategies with it. The more that teachers try new things and share them widely, the more that the educator community will move forward with new ideas. In short: we will figure this out together, even though it will take some time.”
