Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the current landscape and implications of Generative Al (GenAl) in higher education, particularly focusing on its role in academic writing and peer review. The emergence of GenAl tools such as ChatGPT is a transformative development in education, with widespread adoption at unprecedented speed. Large Language Models such as ChatGPT offer great potential for enhancing education and academic writing but also raise serious ethical concerns and tensions including access and usability, the perpetuation of Standard Academic English, and issues of linguistic justice. There is also the need for new approaches and pedagogies for how to ethically and effectively capitalize on this technology. Peer review has many benefits but can also be a source of anxiety and frustration for both teachers and students. The chapter discusses these issues and then offers an approach and lesson plans built around ChatGPT and John Bean's hierarchy for error correction to guide in-class peer review in a first-year writing class, as well as suggestions for how GenAl might be used for other disciplinary writing.
