Classroom AI Policies for a Writing-Enriched Curriculum: Balancing Assessment, Integrity, & Learning
This is a recording of one of a series of workshops on writing across the curriculum (WAC) hosted by the WAC Program at Colorado State University. Delivered by Leslie Davis on February 2, 2026,, the workshop began with discussions of the purpose of classroom policies and how those policies can address the use of generative AI tools. Considerations included potential revisions of policies to emphasize pedagogical priorities, retaining writing as a learning and assessment tool in the midst of generative AI use, and protecting our faculty time.

Writing to Discern: Naming What We Value in the Age of GenAI
This is a recording of one of a series of workshops on writing across the curriculum (WAC) hosted by the WAC Program at Colorado State University. Delivered on February 6, 2026, Christopher Basgier led a discussion of how, in the age of generative artificial intelligence (genAI), many faculty members find themselves in an “unsettled middle,” seeing both potential benefits and real risks in the technology (Basgier & Wilkes, 2025). This middle space can be generative for ethical discernment. The workshop introduced participants to a practice of writing to discern. Based on pragmatist ethical philosophy, the practice centers on writing about the values that form the basis of our ethical commitments. When left unwritten, values can lead to conflict. When made explicit, they facilitate open “ethical deliberation” about our commitments and the tradeoffs we are willing to make (Watson et al., 2025, n.p.). Participants considered how, by engaging in this practice of ethical discernment, faculty across disciplines can guide their students towards systematic reflections on situated use and situated refusal of genAI so they can adjust practices as necessary to better align with their values.

AI as an Object of Inquiry
This is a recording of one of a series of workshops on writing across the curriculum (WAC) hosted by the WAC Program at Colorado State University. Presented by Christopher Basgier on November 4, 2024, it addresses the impact of emerging generative AI tools on the use of writing tasks and assignments in courses across the disciplines.

Transfer, Reflection, and Writing Across the Curriculum in the Age of Generative AI
This is a recording of one of a series of workshops on writing across the curriculum (WAC) hosted by the WAC Program at Colorado State University. Led by Tara Taczak on February 3, 2026, the workshop participants explored strategies for helping students make meaningful connections across writing experiences in an era shaped by generative AI. Drawing on research in writing transfer, the workshop considered reflection as a vital practice for adaptability and the development of rhetorical knowledge. Participants discussed how to create assignments that encourage students to apply writing concepts across disciplines, while also engaging critically and creatively with AI tools to strengthen their ability to transfer knowledge into new contexts and experiences.

Using Generative AI to Enhance Student Engagement with Course Content
This is a recording of one of a series of workshops on writing across the curriculum (WAC) hosted by the WAC Program at Colorado State University. Presented by Tim Amidon and Mike Palmquist on November 10, 2023, it explores the impact of early generative AI tools on writing conducted in both first-year writing courses and courses across the disciplines.
