Abstract: This session will present two multifaceted assignments and corresponding activities that use AI tools for critical thinking and the writing process. The activities will focus on invention, research, and revision. The activities draw on DEER praxis which emphasizes, “defined engagements with AI tools for specific purposes, and generous use of reflection” (Cummings et al., p. 1). The speakers will demonstrate how AI tools can provide a foundational background and understanding of a topic so that students can apply this knowledge in complex and creative ways to assignments. #AIactivities, #AIreflection, #layeredlearningCummings, R., et al.
