The first-ever one-day CCCC Fall Virtual Institute is devoted to critical conversations on wicked problems challenging rhetoric and composition. This year’s event will host roundtable discussions that build on current conversations about machine learning and writing. The one-day event will feature eight roundtable sessions on machine writing, two on each of the four larger areas of interest that machine learning challenges: theory, pedagogy, assessment, and administration.
We imagine this event differently than a virtual conference that replicates in-person CCCC. Rather, the CCCC Fall Virtual Institute is a space for provocative presentations of ideas, focused writing, and small-group interactions. Each roundtable session will work as a foundation of provocation that will inspire attendees to write, compose, reflect, and move new or existing projects forward. The roundtables will activate further ideation among participants. After each roundtable, participants will have thirty minutes to process what they’ve heard by writing notes or fully thought-out responses. Then everyone will return for small breakout conversations, each led by at least one roundtable participant. Each small group will be assigned one prompt: from your thirty-minute processing, create a shared list of concerns, values, resources and tools, and/or future projects that should be explored as teaching, research, or service activities, either collaborative or individual. By the end of the conference, the results of the conversation will be distributed to CCCC members.
We consider this institute an opportunity to learn in the community. Thus, both roundtable participants and attendees will be listed in the final program.
