[ATTW-L] CFP: Teaching with AI in Technical Communication

[Guiseppe Getto]

All,

Please consider sending a proposal for a special issue of TCQ I am editing
with Pam Brewer and Bremen Vance: Teaching with AI in Technical
Communication: Research on Pedagogy and Emerging Technologies.

Intro: "The editors of this special issue invite technical and professional
communication (TPC) scholars, teachers, and practitioners to consider the
impact artificial intelligence (AI) is having on technical communication
pedagogy. As scholarship on AI emerges in our field, it is clear that its
impact will be far-reaching. These impacts will include the ways we teach
and practice technical communication. For example, AI will impact how we
produce technical content, such as instructions, reports, user guides, and
multimedia (Johnson-Eilola, Selber, & York, 2024). It will also impact the
speed at which we produce this content (Carradini, 2024) as well as the way
we view writing, specifically whether it was created by a human or nonhuman
actor (Gallagher & Wagner, 2024). More than likely, the very role of
technical communicator is being challenged in substantive ways. At a deeper
level, AI will impact the way we as a field solve complex communication
problems, such as how to govern online platforms (Katzenbach, 2021), how to
analyze and visualize data (DeJeu, 2024), and even how we experience daily
life, including such common activities as exploring our immediate
environment (Duin & Pedersen, 2023). And world governments are just
beginning to consider policies for how we will regulate AI’s impact on the
technical systems and infrastructure that enable our societies to function
(AI Act, n.d.). As it takes 10-15 years to develop an ISO standard, this
means that policy may lag far behind adoption.:

Proposals are due *Nov 15*.
