From idea to text – AI as a support in the writing process

Artificial intelligence can be a helpful aid when writing during your studies – from brainstorming and structuring to revising texts. At the same time, its use raises questions about quality, responsibility and authorship.

In this workshop, you will learn about the academic writing process and try out how AI tools can provide useful support in different phases. You will put them into practice to develop topic ideas, structure your text and revise your wording. In doing so, you will reflect on the opportunities and limitations of these tools and develop personal guidelines on how you would like to use AI in your own writing process in the future.

Learning content

After the workshop, you will be able to:

• structure the academic writing process and assess where AI tools are useful.
• Use AI tools in a practical way, e.g. for brainstorming, structuring or revising text.
• Critically evaluate the results of AI and reflectively integrate them into your own texts.
• Ensure that you remain the author of your text and use AI responsibly.
• Develop a personal mission statement for the use of AI in your own writing process.

The workshop comprises two face-to-face sessions (28 November 2025 and 16 January 2026) as well as self-study phases via Moodle. To successfully complete the workshop (1 credit), you must attend both sessions, complete the tasks in the self-study phases and submit a final reflection.
