How can research about motivation --including motivation to use AI -- guide writing assignment design in an age of AI? First, Karen Singer-Freeman, Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning Excellence, will offer approaches based on scholarship about teaching and learning. Then Phyllis Ryder & Carol Hayes, from GW’s University Writing Program, will help participants apply this motivation theory to writing assignments. How do we motivate students to see the struggle of writing in an age of AI as a form of learning? How can we scaffold this motivation into our lessons and rubrics?

A light lunch will be provided. Please RSVP  by noon on December 12^th so that we can order lunch!
