About GSOLE’s webinars
GSOLE’s webinars are designed to spark conversation, provide professional development, share ideas, and build community. Webinar recordings are made available to GSOLE members in an online archive, and webinar leaders are encouraged to transform their webinar topics into Research in Online Literacy Education (ROLE) or OLOR Effective Practices publications. Webinars are:
- Led by 1-3 presenters
- 60–90 minutes long
- Combinations of theory and practice about online, hybrid, and digitally enhanced learning spaces, systems, or technologies with actionable plans for instructors, tutors, and others
- Interactive presentations that engage attendees
In this series, we’re asking presenters to consider some of the following points as they design and propose their webinar:
- Changing perspectives on AI literacy and online instruction from November, 2022 (introduction of ChatGPT) to now
- The intersection of Writing Studies principles/”threshold concepts” (Adler-Kassner/Wardle) and AI instruction and use
- Developing AI literacy frameworks and AI policies alongside students
- New language emergence around AI literacy
- AI integration in online instruction
- How we envision the writing process alongside AI
- Tool introduction: best practices, innovations, and privacy/copyright considerations’
- Writing centers, writing program administration, and writing across the curriculum: trends and techniques
- Future visions: what’s coming up in the AI landscape? (Voice, identity, tools, practices)
Submit your proposal
By Monday, July 14, 2025, please submit the following information to our Webinar Proposal Form:

- A tentative webinar title
- Your preferred webinar months
- A 500-word proposal that includes details on what the webinar will cover, how this proposal relates to the theme, a description of the webinar’s interactive components, and 4-5 intended participant outcomes

You will meet (virtually) with the committee/co-chairs one month in advance of your webinar, and then again a few days prior, to coordinate logistics.
