Abstract
Delivering Class Instructions through Accessible and User-Centered Hypertext Class Agendas
D.H. Won
Although digital tools have transformed writing classes drastically, the core of teaching writing has not changed, which is encouraging students’ thinking skills for their self-discovery through the self-inquiry process for effective communication as a student-centered learning environment. Inspired by Peter Elbow’s Writing Without Teachers, the session introduces hypertext blog-style class agendas, which promote active learning through writing workshop class activities and the integration of GenAI, HTML, and gamified writing tools. This session will explore how a technology-driven writing and instruction method can support traditional philosophy.
Maximum Effect: Freshman Composition Today and Tomorrow
William Brannon
The rapid adoption of AI tools by students poses significant pedagogical challenges for general education courses like freshman composition. In my brief presentation I explore how freshmen composition courses offer not just the enhancing of skills viable today for enabling students to engage critically with texts but also can equip those students with understanding of how best to harness the power of AI platforms for whatever rhetorical situations the future brings.
