Background 

Even in the age of AI, writing continues to be an essential tool for academic thinking, learning and communication. This course focuses on writing as a process and a practice, and how to teach these in higher education. The course is useful for anyone who teaches or supervises in the academia.

We will not look at features of academic texts, but how to use writing as a practical tool, when working on assignments, theses, or research articles. The course, then, essentially focuses on the aspects of writing AI cannot replace.

It is a six-hour workshop running over two days.

What you will learn

The course is divided into two main parts. First, we will establish an understanding of academic writing as a practical, comprehensive process essential for your thinking. Second, we will learn how to apply this understanding of the writing process in your teaching and guiding students and writers in the academia.
