Abstract

Since the fall of 2022, generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools have transformed teaching and learning. Faculty in the age of AI are challenged to design learning experiences that both engage students in the classroom and result in an increase in student knowledge and skills development. Information Systems (IS) programs are particularly challenged to equip students with both technical and soft skills necessary to succeed in workplaces that will increasingly utilize AI. Collaborative learning experiences offer one possible opportunity to the challenges presented by generative AI tools. Therefore, this work seeks to examine student perceptions of multimodal collaborative writing in the age of AI. Specifically, this research-in-progress outlines a plan for the design of IS course work and activities that require the adoption of multimodal collaborative writing as a part of classwork as well as plans to learn more about how to engage students with course concepts and soft skills development through written communication in the time of generative AI. The findings of this research-in-progress work should have important implications for both education and research.
