University Writing Center: Generative AI and Writing

This free page from James Madison University's Writing Center curates four annotated links to writing-specific generative-AI guidance from the CCCC/MLA Joint Task Force, UNC Chapel Hill, Utah Valley University and Purdue. Working through it, a reader can locate guidance on deciding whether AI use is permitted for an assignment and how it might affect learning, on ways generative AI can support academic writing while staying aligned with instructor and course policies, and on how to cite AI-generated material in their writing. It also points to a student guide for developing generative-AI literacy, including its definition and measures of literacy.
