Michael J. Michaud: Writing with AI, Gebunden

Klappentext

A practical guide to navigating AI's transformation of literacy and education, this book combines the long-standing values of writing studies with instruction on how students and teachers can write more effectively withAI.

Mirroring the seismic changes on writing brought about by the printing press, the typewriter and the internet, AI's impact on literacy, teaching and writing marks a shift in how we think about knowledge production, intellectual labour and composition. Moving students away from a myopic, transactional, 'vending machine-style' approach, Writing with AI offers techniques on engaging with these new technologies more critically and thoughtfully. With structured, adaptable frameworks based upon relational and conversational models of engagement, this book allows students to better articulate and compose their needs, refine their questions, and engage in an iterative exchange with more meaningful and useful responses from generative learning language models.

Introducing a four-part recursive framework - Question, Analyze, Iterate, Compose (QAIC) - that guides students through a deliberate process, Writing with AI gives students the tools for ensuring that AI is integrated thoughtfully and ethically into their work rather than being used as a shortcut.
Designed for immediate classroom use, the book features:

• Consideration of the ethics of AI
• How students can formulate context-aware questions for prompts
• Guidance on how students can assess and refine AI-generated content
• Explanation on how the use of AI can be a part of a process that expands critical thinking skills
• Demonstrations of how AI-assisted insights can be structured into meaningful compositions

Offering a structured way to interact meaningfully with AI in the current pedagogical moment, this is an essential resource to exploring the monumental next stage in human development that isn't going away. A readable, accessible alternative to resisting change, Writing with AI reveals that artificial intelligence reinforces the very processes that are essential to good writing, rather than replacing them.
