About this listen

In this episode, we hear the perspectives of three undergraduate writing center consultants, Meredith Perkins, Kylie Mullis, and Ally Britton-Heitz about their research on AI-generated feedback on writing and how it compares to the written feedback given by writing center consultants. We discuss what they have learned about using AI tools, the strengths and weaknesses of the feedback it generates, and the implications for these tools on writing centers and writers' practices for engaging with feedback.
