Professor, English, Lindenwood University, Missouri, USA

Dr. Daniel Plate, a scholar in the field of composition pedagogy and educational technology, focuses his research on the integration of generative artificial intelligence with pedagogical methodologies. Educated with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Philosophy from Taylor University, a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Arkansas, and a PhD in Literature from Washington University in St. Louis, Plate presently serves as a faculty member at Lindenwood University. There, he teaches courses in creative writing, literature, composition, and applied AI. Beyond his creative writing contributions, he has co-authored numerous case studies that explore the nuanced applications of AI in classroom settings. These scholarly works not only contribute to the existing body of literature but also offer practical insights for educators interested in leveraging generative AI to enrich the learning experience. Plate’s scholarly endeavors straddle the intersection of technology and pedagogy; he divides his professional time between developing code to augment teaching methods and conducting empirical research to better understand the symbiotic relationship between AI and innovative pedagogy. His latest publications are Generative AI in the English Composition Classroom: Practical and Adaptable Strategies (2024) and Beyond Code: Redefining Programming Education Beyond STEM (2025).
