Course "Enhance Your Writing Using AI Tools"
The purpose of this one-day practice-oriented course is to learn about various AI tools that can boost your academic writing skills. We are going to work on the literature review section of your manuscript, using AI instruments. During the first half of the day, we will generate content with the help of AI-powered research tools and critically examine the strengths and weaknesses of every tool. You will be familiar with the purposes these tools may serve to facilitate research writing. Next, you will spend an hour or so using the research tool that meets your needs and work on your literature review. After the lunch break, we will experiment with several citation and editing AI tools. After trial and critical evaluation, you will make informed decisions on how to use them in your writing. You will also have a chance to revise and edit your literature review using a tool that meets your writing purposes. By the end of the course, you will expand your repertoire of AI-powered writing tools that can facilitate your research writing.
NB: Get ready with a draft of a literature review section of the research paper you are currently working on. It should be work in progress so we can continue working on it using AI tools during the course.
