Abstract

Context: Recent and continuing developments in AI mean that we need to explore and potentially reconceptualise aspects of teaching, support and assessment in HE. We see writing as a key process in student learning which should not be diminished by recent developments and concerns.

Our idea: In light of AI, we are developing a 5 stage writing and inquiry model that will help lecturers to support student academic writing and critical inquiry across multiple disciplines in higher education.

What we are aiming to achieve: We want to explore ways to sustain the role of writing in learning and assessments. We aim to support academic staff to ensure the continuation of student writing and inquiry by providing a model to help redesign of teaching, learning and assessment approaches.

Where the inspiration comes from: Richardson (2005) observes that “styles of writing are neither fixed nor neutral, but rather reflect the historically shifting domination of particular schools or paradigms” (p.960). We see this as another shifting paradigm which challenges us to adapt and potentially raise the bar in teaching, writing and assessment practices. Richardson also promotes the idea of writing as thinking and this idea is central to our model.
