Description
Writing centers have become an essential component of higher education, offering invaluable writing support for students and faculty across disciplines. By providing one-on-one consultations, workshops, and online resources, writing centers empower writers to develop their critical thinking, research, and communication skills. However, their presence in Vietnamese universities remains limited, often due to physical space constraints or limited resources. Furthermore, the evolving digital landscape necessitates exploring innovative solutions to enhance student writing skills.
This presentation introduces a pilot virtual writing center (vnVC) as a potential model for Vietnamese universities to address these challenges. We will delve into the project's setup, core activities, and initial outcomes, with a particular focus on how generative AI (GenAI) empowers the writing support process. This session is specifically designed for Vietnamese university educators seeking practical solutions to elevate student writing. It offers valuable insights into the future of writing support, where human expertise seamlessly integrates with the power of GenAI to create a more effective learning environment for students.
