Teaching with Generative AI: From Principle to Practice

Dr. Kyle Jensen will present five principles for incorporating generative AI applications in humanities (and other) classes. The goal of this presentation is to help teachers leverage their content expertise in creative ways so that students can meet their course’s learning outcomes and feel prepared for 21st century workplaces.

This event has been rescheduled from its original date in October. The session will now be virtual.

He is the author, co-author, or co-editor of six books including, most recently, Kenneth Burke’s Weed Garden: Refiguring the Mythic Grounds of Modern Rhetoric (Penn State University Press, 2022) and Rhetorical Listening in Action (Parlor Press, 2022). His research articles have been published in prominent journals such as The Quarterly Journal of Speech, Rhetoric Society Quarterly, JAC, and Rhetoric Review. And he has been invited to present his research at numerous universities, as well as teach at the Rhetoric Society of America Institute. 

His current research on writing instruction, artificial intelligence, and public literacy is currently supported by NEH funding and has been featured in The Washington Post and Times Higher Education. He is currently completing a collaborative (with the Enterprise Technology Office and Learning Engineering Institute) cross-sectional study of how intentional uses of generative AI applications affect learning outcomes in ASU writing courses. This study will form the baseline for conducting research on generative AI and teaching in other units across ASU’s system.
