Dr. Laura Dumin obtained her PhD in English from Oklahoma State University in 2010. She is a professor in English and Technical Writing at the University of Central Oklahoma who has been exploring the impact of generative AI on writing classrooms. Laura has been experimenting with transformative learning (TL) tools and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning methods (SoTL) in the classroom for over 7 years. She finds that when students are engaged in the lessons, learning can happen organically, leading to more interesting class periods and longer-term gains in understanding concepts. Laura mixes her background in technical writing and her work with generative AI into all her courses, bringing ideas of audience and clear communication into assignments. She runs a Facebook learning community to allow instructors to learn from each other https://www.facebook.com/groups/632930835501841 and has created a website for AI information and to share Creative Commons files with other instructors: https://ldumin157.com/
