Significant disparities emerged in the 90s and early 2000s largely due to socioeconomic factors, affecting students’ literacy with digital tools. Fear and anxiety about technology also contributed to these gaps. Today, we face new anxieties and a digital divide centered around GenAI. We will discuss AI’s potential to democratize educational resources and support personalized learning, while also addressing the risk of exacerbating existing inequities if not implemented thoughtfully.

Speaker Introduction: Brian Harrell
GSOLE Plenary: Dr. Sarah Z. Johnson
“Terms of Engagement: Centering a Pedagogy of Hope and Humanity in a Post-GPT World”
Description: This plenary address will examine the difficulties we face as online literacy educators in the age of AI. As a member of the Joint Task Force on AI and Writing and a co-chair of the IWCA AI Task Force, I recognize that many of us are wading through multiple layers of promise, potential harm, and exhausting labor as we engage in this new teaching reality. But our field, our experience and expertise, is more important than it’s ever been. Good online literacy education has always been about building rapport, community, and genuine engagement in virtual spaces. If there’s anyone who can help our field—and, I’d argue, the world—understand how to value the human in an ocean of bot-created prose, we are the ones who can begin to teach others how to center hope and humanity in a post-GPT world.
