AI Writing Workflows: From Idea to Revision

Use AI as a writing aid for brainstorming, drafting, and a deliberate revision pass.

Course overview

Build a repeatable writing process without handing over editorial responsibility. These four Creative Commons demonstrations cover ChatGPT-supported brainstorming, a focused email prompt, a short lesson on making AI content feel more human to its audience, and reverse outlining with AI summaries. The course treats generated text as an editable draft: learners supply their own verified facts, check claims and tone, and make the final decisions.

Turn a writing goal into a brief with audience, purpose, verified facts, and constraints. Use AI-generated ideas or draft text selectively while keeping unsupported claims out. Revise a draft against its brief and document important corrections.

No AI or programming experience is needed. Bring a short, low-stakes writing task and facts you are permitted to use; do not submit confidential or personal information.
