AI Teaching and Learning Fellow with the Center for Teaching and Learning
Liz is a Senior Instructor II in the School of Writing, Literature, and Film, specializing in writing pedagogy from first-year composition to advanced technical communication. Her current work centers on AI literacy and pedagogical adaptation for the AI era in the humanities. She approaches AI integration by emphasizing process over product and designing assignments that encourage students to use AI as a thinking partner rather than a replacement for critical analysis. She brings transparency about her own evolving relationship with AI tools to the classroom, and emphasizes “keeping the human in the picture” as we find ways to learn with AI. She has designed multimodal assignments like comic strips, podcasts, and presentations that encourage authentic learning and critical thinking while reducing over-reliance on AI-generated content.
Liz earned her M.A. in Literature and Culture from Oregon State University and completed a Graduate Certificate in Instructional Design in 2023. She is co-author of the open educational resource textbook A Dam Good Argument: Persuasive Writing at OSU, winner of the Open Oregon OER Champion Award. She co-developed the OSU PACE Technical Writing Certificate for continuing education and was recently awarded the CLA Outstanding Ecampus Instructor Award.
Financial support for this fellowship was provided by the OSU Libraries' Gray Family Fund.
