Jeanne Law
Professor of English & Director of Composition, Kennesaw State University, United States of America
I am a Professor of English and the Director of Composition at Kennesaw State University in the Atlanta Metro in the U.S. I earned my Ph.D in rhetoric and composition from Georgia State University, specializing in post-process composition theory and digital rhetorics. My research finds further loci in diverse sub-fields of language study, including AI-informed digital literacies, human and civil rights rhetorics, historiography, socio-linguistics. I also conduct empirical research with undergraduate student-scholars, interrogating the intersections of theory and practice as they evidence themselves in open educational resources.

Everyone is talking about AI, but how do you use it to support your own work and help students? And how do you know that you have this expertise?
Here's what you will get out of this workshop:
1. Step-by-step methods to use AI to create open educational resources and teaching materials.
2. Access to research findings that asked more than 1,000 first-year college students how they used generative AI in their academic, professional, and personal lives
3. A robust discussion of the ethical considerations of students using AI in their academic writing
4. A foundational introduction to prompt engineering as an educational tool
5. OER assignments for student writing of all college levels that integrate generative artificial intelligence (gen-AI)
6. Digital Badges issued by Kennesaw State University that you can add to your professional profile
7. Free physical ribbons and certificates of completion
This session will include demonstrations and strategies that you can apply in the workshop. Everyone will get a chance to design your own OER or assignment with the help of AI.
