Teaching Philosophy
My teaching sits at the intersection of writing, artificial intelligence, and computational culture. I design learning environments where students engage writing as inquiry and develop critical awareness of the systems shaping knowledge and expression.
I use inquiry-based and project-based approaches, supported by Mayer's multimedia learning theory, to position learners as active participants in meaning-making. A central focus of my teaching is engaging students with AI as a partner in thinking and communication, while maintaining authorship, interpretation, and intellectual responsibility.
Teaching Practice
Advanced & Invited Teaching
Graduate and Upper-Level Courses
University of Massachusetts Amherst
I have been invited to contribute to graduate-level courses, including:
COMPSCI 691O – Tools for Intelligent Tutoring Systems, taught by Prof. Beverly Woolf
EDUC 792F – Computational Literacy, taught by Prof. Ivon Arroyo
Here, I have led sessions on topics including intelligent tutoring systems, cultural signatures in computing, digital humanities, AI in learning, prompt literacy and human-AI interaction.
These engagements focus on helping students understand AI not only as a technical system, but as a cultural and cognitive infrastructure shaping how knowledge is produced and interpreted.
Undergraduate Instruction
College Writing (ENGLWRIT 112)
Fall 2023 – Spring 2025
University of Massachusetts Amherst
I taught College Writing as a foundational course in academic inquiry, critical thinking, and multimodal composition. The course positioned writing not as a technical skill, but as a process of exploration, argumentation, and knowledge-making.
A central component of the course was the integration of generative AI into the writing process. Students engaged AI as a tool for idea development, research exploration, and revision, while maintaining authorship, transparency, and critical judgment.
