Description<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this team-taught workshop, we invite scholars to join us in exploring the relationship between generative AI and the future of programming pedagogy in the digital humanities and a frontline of what the MLA-CCCC Joint Task Force on Writing and AI called \u201ccritical AI literacy.\u201d Generative AI offers opportunities to make programming more accessible to diverse learners, and we explore how to use these emerging technologies to build inclusive pathways into programming through natural language interfaces and \u201cliterate programming.\u201d This course will emphasize two critical programming languages, JavaScript and Python, that are commonly taught in humanities courses due to their applicability for interactive experiences, public humanities, and textual analysis. This workshop will build participant\u2019s comfort with both generating and debugging code with AI tools, as well as deploying generative AI outside of mainstream commercial projects. Participants will be invited to approach GitHub, Copilot, Hugging Face, TensorFlow, and Jupyter Notebooks through a beginner\u2019s mind, working through, critiquing, and developing assignments and pedagogical applications or their own classrooms. Participants with and without programming experience are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John T. Murray<\/strong> is an Associate Professor of Games and Interactive Media at the University of Central Florida. He is Co-PI on a multi-institutional NSF grant entitled \u201cVirtual Experience Research Accelerator,\u201d for which he is overseeing the software development. The project\u2019s goals are to increase the diversity of participants for virtual reality by creating a public platform for anyone to participate using their own headsets. He was co-author of Adventure Games: Playing the Outsider (with Aaron Reed and Anastasia Salter, Bloomsbury 2020) and Flash: Building the Interactive Web (with Anastasia Salter, MIT Press 2014). His research focuses on interactive narratives and reality media platforms, which includes augmented, virtual, and mixed reality. He was Program Co-Chair for the International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling in 2023 and 2024 as well as the Electronic Literature Organization\u2019s annual conference in 2024. Currently he is collaborating with Mark Marino and Maria Cecilia Reyes on \u201cShields Down,\u201d a VR interactive narrative that incorporates players\u2019 emotional performances into the narrative path. He is currently exploring new programming paradigms through generative AI assistance in immersive authoring in VR.<\/p>\n\n\n
