Defining "Appropriate" Generative AI Use for Graduate Students
Date:
Invited Presentation at Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA
Invited presentation to ALCE faculty and graduate students working through what counts as “appropriate” generative AI use in their department. Rather than proposing a blanket rule, the session treats appropriateness as a question about disciplinary norms — what ALCE scholarship values in writing, analysis, and community engagement — and builds outward from there. Connects to ongoing work on GenAI course policies and graduate instructor development at Virginia Tech.
