What Teaching Writing with AI Reveals About Student Voice

Ana Castellon and Casey Manogue, both instructors for the UC Davis Writing Center, were approached by the Peer & AI Review + Reflection, or PAIRR, research team to collect data in their classrooms. Over the course of one quarter, they and other participating instructors implemented the PAIRR curriculum. Students discussed readings about AI and language equity, completed peer and AI reviews of their drafts, compared the feedback, and decided which recommendations to incorporate into their final work.

Embracing AI in the Classroom

A collaborative project led by UC Davis, working with four California Community Colleges and three California State University campuses, has won a $1.5 million grant to help address equity gaps in writing support and AI literacy.
