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

The Problem Isn’t Technology. It’s What We’re Training Children’s Brains to Do

The Problem Isn’t Technology. It’s What We’re Training Children’s Brains to Do | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath’s recent testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation warning about the rapid expansion of EdTech and the explosion of student screen time should spark an important national conversation about learning, cognition, and the future of education."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Every environment trains the brain for something. The issue is not whether children use technology. The issue is whether that technology strengthens the capacities human beings most need to learn, adapt, create and thrive."

From Content to Capacity: Rethinking Education for the Brain Economy

From Content to Capacity: Rethinking Education for the Brain Economy | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"Since at least the 1960s, the connection between education and economic outcomes has been the subject of substantial research—both theoretical and empirical. Economists have long demonstrated that higher levels of education are associated with increased productivity, higher earnings and stronger economic growth."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"For decades, education has been shaped by the demands of the knowledge economy, where access to information and mastery of content were primary goals. But that model is no longer sufficient. What increasingly matters is not just what students know, but how effectively they can learn new information, integrate ideas across contexts, solve unfamiliar problems and adapt to changing demands."

Five years ago, Maya would have typed that into Google, clicked three links, skimmed two blogs, and maybe opened an incognito tab for price comparison.

 

Today? She doesn’t leave the chat window. Her AI agent instantly reads hundreds of sites, ranks them, and returns one clean answer."

One skill separates the designers who survive 2026 from the ones who don’t

"Every few weeks, another business leader recites the doomsday line: AI will replace all workers. Their confidence is proportional to the capex. A company that just committed tens of billions to data centers has strong incentives to sound sure, and the memo goes out accordingly. They boast about leaner teams and a future where most of the work runs itself. However, the reality looks different."
