GenAI and Academic Integrity: Redefining the Role of Writing Centres in a Shifting Digital Landscape

Abstract

This article investigates the transformative effects of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on Academic Integrity and the role of writing centres (WCs) in post-secondary institutions. By exploring the scientific, philosophical, and educational perspectives on the current development of GenAI in academia, the article highlights the opportunities for WC administrators and staff to embrace change. Suggestions include becoming familiar with new discourse communities, cultivating new relationships with colleagues, redefining WC pedagogy and culture, incorporating new digital literacies into training, engaging in the ongoing development and update of academic integrity policies, and developing new support networks across WCs. The objective of this article is to offer insights into how WCs can adapt to this new landscape and ensure their continued relevance within the larger educational ecosystem.
