This annual event showcases ways that technology can be used to enhance teaching, learning, and research. The intent is give faculty and staff the opportunity to share how they are using technology in unique ways, network with other colleagues, and generate new project ideas.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistants present opportunities and challenges for teaching writing. In 2023, instructors in a small 400- and two large 100-level courses integrated ChatGPT to provide feedback during students’ writing revision process. This session explores the pros and cons of using AI in writing instruction, focusing on the design of assignments in BIOL403 (Biological Writing and Communication for Research) and BIOL162/164 (Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory I and II). We will discuss the impact on student writing and share feedback from students and teaching assistants, offering insights into the integration of AI tools in writing-focused biology curricula.
