This page contains writing pedagogy resources created by Dr. Traynor Hansen:
SPU Writing Program AI Guidance – This is my most recent GenAI guidance for SPU faculty, including a range of sample syllabus statements and adaptable examples of assignment-specific policies.
Faculty Guidance on Generative AI Tools – This short essay offers early guidance for SPU faculty navigating GenAI in learning environments.
“Faithful Writing Pedagogy in the Age of Generative AI: A Sabbath-Grounded Approach” – This peer-reviewed essay, published in Christian Scholar’s Review, builds on my early SPU guidance. I argue that, rather than needing to develop a novel guidance in response to GenAI tools, the church and writing pedagogy already offer several resources and best practices that we can draw from.
“Making More Space for Student Attitudes about AI” – This blog post was written, by request, for the Norton Learning Blog. I discuss an early attempt to permit limited AI use in a first-year composition class and what I learned about the complicated perspectives on AI that students bring into the writing classroom.
