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

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+

AI literacy cannot be bolted on to first-year courses | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
Future teachers, nurses, engineers, lawyers and business leaders need more than rules and policies about when to use AI. Inexperienced students benefit from courses that help them practise responsible judgement alongside foundational learning
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"If a course claims to value critical thinking, professional judgement or ethical practice, AI guidance should not sit separately from those commitments. Judgement cannot be bolted on. Students need to practise it in context, with support, feedback and clear expectations."

A Principal's Reflections: The Real Solution to the EdTech Backlash is Digital Leadership

A Principal's Reflections: The Real Solution to the EdTech Backlash is Digital Leadership | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"When I began my administrative career as principal of New Milford High School, I was far from a tech evangelist. Early on, I was the principal confiscating cell phones in hallways and viewing digital devices primarily as classroom distractions. My journey into digital leadership did not begin with a love for technology, but rather with a stark realization: enforcing compliance and banning devices created an environment completely disconnected from the real world. Shifting my mindset required moving past a fear of screens and recognizing that leadership in the modern era is about leveraging resources to transform instruction, create transparency, and empower learners. Today, as a growing wave of pushback builds against educational technology, that lesson is more critical than ever."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Digital Leadership is a strategic mindset and set of behaviors that leverage resources to create a meaningful, transparent, and engaging school culture. It’s about doing what we already do, better. It’s about working smarter, not harder, by enhancing our professional practice through the intentional, strategic use of technology."

Chat is the wrong interface for AI

"I noticed that I’m becoming increasingly annoyed while talking to AI agents. Not because they are not intelligent enough, but quite the opposite.

 

I can spend an hour discussing an idea with a model, while walking with my dogs. We’re moving between design, engineering, psychology, physics, and a real product that appeared somewhere in the middle. The LLM can follow me surprisingly well."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

As "the conversation becomes longer, the scrollbar becomes smaller, and my best ideas disappear somewhere between 10 tool calls, 3 deliverables, and 100 affirmations that my question is fascinating and my idea is a goldmine. As a designer, I see an interface problem."

'Used right, AI is a patient tutor. Used wrong, it's a shortcut around the learning'

'Used right, AI is a patient tutor. Used wrong, it's a shortcut around the learning' | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"With the continued evolution of AI tools, teachers and students alike have been using them to assist them in their everyday learning. While it’s disappointing to hear stories about students producing their work entirely with AI, it’s equally satisfying to see AI tools such as Gemini Notebooks, Perplexity, and ChatGPT offer educational-themed features that don’t encourage cheating."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Students who use AI to get answers lose problem-solving ability over time. Students who use it for hints keep it. So the whole design is built around productive struggle"

The grading paradox: Better data is key to understanding real subject mastery

The grading paradox: Better data is key to understanding real subject mastery | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
A unified data system offers a shared roadmap where every stakeholder has the clarity to understand subject mastery.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"While national test scores have dropped to levels not seen in decades, average high school GPAs are actually climbing. Grading systems vary heavily from classroom to classroom and teacher to teacher. A student who receives a B+ could be proficient in a subject, but it may just mean they consistently turned their homework in on time. These inconsistencies suggest the traditional grading system is increasingly disconnected from the skills students have truly mastered."

Why AI Learning Tools Fail Without Instructional Scaffolding

Why AI Learning Tools Fail Without Instructional Scaffolding | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"We’ve all been experimenting with Google’s NotebookLM lately. Drop a dense, 30-page institutional report or a dry chapter into the platform, hit “generate,” and the result is surprising.

Suddenly, two hyper-realistic AI hosts are talking back and forth, turning cold prose into an approachable conversational audio track. It just feels highly efficient, and it looks like an easy way to help busy students get through material."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Platforms like NotebookLM are useful for lowering access friction and making dense, imposing texts approachable for a broader student demographic. But if we simply host AI-generated audio files on our LMS instances and expect learning to occur on its own, the data suggest we will be disappointed."
