Resources for AI-Assisted Writing

Resources from the MLA-CCCC Joint Task Force on Writing and AI

Use shared platforms like GoogleDocs for student work and utilize the version history and time stamp functions

Best strategies for addressing these are already incorporated in WI courses, faculty development sessions

• Scaffold low- and higher-stakes writing assignments across the term

• Tailor assignments as closely as possible to course rather than generic, “find something interesting to write about in X and give me 2,500 words”

• Require students to submit drafts for peer review, using guided, structured workshop instructions to help students evaluate one another’s work

• Require students to submit drafts for instructor review and provide specific, helpful feedback

• Cap WI courses at 20 – already a WI requirement

• Integrate grading rubric lesson so students know what’s expected & how to achieve course learning outcomes

• Integrate project management strategies like Gantt charts, work logs, and other visuals to help student plan their time

• You might also use these AI platforms in class to facilitate discussion on ethics, attribution, AI biased responses
