Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI: Evidence-Based Approaches to Pedagogy, Ethics, and Beyond

 

Edited by Joseph Rene Corbeil & Maria Elena Corbeil (2025)

 

🏆 Winner of the 2025 Systems Thinking & Change Division Outstanding Book Award from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology!

 

If you are designing a course that addresses generative AI in education, this award-winning volume provides a research-driven, classroom-ready foundation. Rather than offering hype or fear, this book helps educators:

  • Ground AI integration in learning theory and research
  • Address academic integrity with thoughtful, practical strategies
  • Redesign assessment for an AI-enabled world
  • Explore ethics, bias, privacy, and institutional responsibility
  • Leverage AI to enhance critical thinking and digital literacy


Bookended by historical and forward-looking analyses of AI in education, the chapters move beyond surface-level discussions to provide evidence-based approaches for real classrooms—K–12, higher education, and professional learning environments.

This text is ideal for:

  • Undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs
  • Curriculum & Instruction courses
  • Educational Technology programs
  • Higher education faculty development
  • School technology coordinators and talent development professionals

Diamondstone's curator insight, July 10, 3:18 AM
Artificial Intelligence is playing a significant role in both cyber defense and cybercrime. Security professionals are leveraging AI-powered tools to detect threats faster, analyze suspicious activities, and automate incident responses. At the same time, cybercriminals are using AI to create more convincing scams and sophisticated attacks, creating an ongoing battle between attackers and defenders.read more..https://pressearn.it.com/blog/?s=Technology+

The screens are getting demoted

From uxdesign.cc - July 23, 10:22 AM

"Designers often say that UX isn’t really about screens. It’s a line I see in portfolios, I hear in interviews; that’s the line we use to signal that we’re thinking beyond just pixels. But honestly, for most of my career, that wasn’t true. In one way or another, the job was screens: building flows in Figma, mapping out states, writing specs, worrying about happy paths and edge cases, and handling handoff. We kept saying UX isn’t about screens, even as we kept making more of them."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"As AI products become more advanced, the interface is no longer the main focus. Now, the real question is which screens are still needed and which can serve as fallbacks."

You can also anticipate that AI will move away from acting primarily as an answer engine and toward functioning more like a coach, proactively surfacing questions, guiding practice and helping learners connect concepts across domains."
