Write-to-Learn and AI Across the Disciplines

Sent on behalf of the AI Task Force on Education and WID Committees

To FSC Faculty:

Educators who have directly experienced the impact of large language models (LLMs) on writing-to-learn (WTL) and writing-in-the-disciplines (WID) pedagogy are invited to apply to a collaborative workshop series designed to help update writing assignments so that students can use LLMs to meet, rather than bypass, the learning objectives.

The program includes:

• Four self-paced modules designed to help anchor LLM use to relevant information literacy standards, disciplinary contexts, and institutional policies. The modules will cover AI technology, WTL/WID pedagogy, and assignment redesign for those who teach in in-person, hybrid, or fully online formats.
• Interactive workshops to discuss strategies and materials: Fridays, September 18 and 25; October 2 and 9, 2026, 12:00-1:30 p.m.
• Self-paced student modules that can be adopted or shared with students.
• A SUNY-wide virtual symposium in spring 2027 where participants will present their experiences (date to be announced).
• The opportunity to share materials via the SUNY Digital Repository as part of the grant project this program was developed for.

The program is open to faculty at Stony Brook University, University at Albany, Nassau Community College, and Farmingdale State College. Applications will be accepted through August 31. Available seats are expected to fill quickly. Please share this message with any colleagues who may be interested.
