While many academics are still focused on keeping students away from artificial intelligence, others are preparing students to use AI in their current and future work. This means thinking about how IA is and will be used by our students, and crafting assignments that teach how to use AI in work, education, and outside life. Kevin Yee and collaborators (2023) correctly ask, “In the future, will ‘writing’ really mean ‘editing’ rather than ‘drafting/composing’? Will future careers involve editing and refining AI output instead of starting writing, even analysis, from scratch?” (p. ix). They created an open-source book through the University of Central Florida full of assignment ideas for teaching students how to use AI. I picked the best ideas and organized them into categories by type of use to help instructors incorporate AI into student assignments to prepare them for today’s AI world.
