Writing and organizing research papers is a valuable skill that can make or break your academic career. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer unprecedented opportunities for researchers to improve their skills in writing research papers and conducting literature reviews. In the past six years, my writing course has introduced you to everything you wanted to know about writing papers. However, with the arrival of generative AI, our writing process is changing. So, now I offer the opportunity to learn how to leverage generative AI tools to edit your writing, brainstorm, and help you find citations, so that your papers are easy to read and have an impact. It is broken up into three 75-minute online units that will help you structure your paper’s research content and use generative AI as assistive research technology. The goal of the course is to learn how to leverage generative AI to help you write a paper that makes a contribution to the field of human-computer interaction and can be understood by other HCI researchers, facilitated by the use of generative AI tools.

Content

The course is designed to provide a comprehensive guide on how to write better CHI papers. The three online units will take you through all the necessary steps for writing an effective paper with AI).

• In Unit 1, you will learn about IMRaD and CHI paper structures, gain knowledge of research methods, and develop your argument effectively.
• In Unit 2, we will focus on how to write and edit the most important parts of your paper: the introduction and discussion using AI tools. You will learn techniques such as prompting structures that will help make your work stand out from other submissions.
• In Unit 3, we talk about productivity strategies with AI tools, such AI-powered literature reviews, PDF querying, brainstorming research questions, audio transcription, sketch to flowchart with AI. This section introduces tools and frameworks for working with generative AI. When you complete all three modules of this course successfully, you should have acquired enough knowledge to produce high-quality papers with the help of AI.

Course Goals

• Learn the structure of CHI papers to be able to systematize your writing
• Understand how to strategically use AI tools to brainstorm, expand your ideas, search the literature, and edit your papers
• Use AI for faster flowchart creation for your research papers.
