Book Review: Generative AI integration in higher education: A comparative review

From www.tandfonline.com - February 17, 10:31 AM

"The collected volumes, Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI (T&L) and Using Generative AI Effectively in Higher Education (Using GenAI) address how Generative AI (AI) is reshaping higher education (HE). Acknowledging the technology’s advantages and shortcomings, the authors of these two volumes argue for a balance between innovation and safeguarding
core educational values...

 

Both volumes are strong in their global reach. With insights from the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Sweden, The Caribbean Netherlands, Singapore, Poland, Hong Kong, Turkey, and Vietnam, they provide a truly international perspective on AI, showcasing educational practices across varied cultural, institutional, and regional contexts. Together, these two volumes speak to educators, researchers, and policymakers across the globe, suggesting adjustments to governmental and institutional practices as well as teaching strategies."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Collectively, the two books offer evidence-based frameworks for integrating GenAI into HE. While the field is still in its infancy and requires further large-scale, longitudinal study, these texts are an essential reading for anyone participating in the ongoing debate."

Education Policy Has a Mic Problem. It’s Time to Hand It to Teachers.

From medium.com - February 18, 12:14 PM

"In education, authority and credibility are often misaligned. The voices that shape education policy are rarely those of current teachers. Firsthand insights gained from classroom experience take a backseat to the musings of outsiders. Frequently, those farthest from students dictate the narrative, while ever fewer actual teachers influence national discussions about teaching."

"Teachers live with the consequences. Too often, those outside the classroom make the big decisions."

Citing generative AI in APA Style: Part 1—Reference formats

From apastyle.apa.org - Today, 9:36 AM

"Since the APA Style team wrote our 2023 post about citing ChatGPT, the landscape of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has changed dramatically. You have likely seen, and probably used, other AI tools in the meantime, and using these tools for assistance in the writing process may no longer seem unusual."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Transparency is an important part of scientific reporting—that is, you should describe what you did and why so that readers can understand, evaluate, and potentially replicate your work. Thus, if you used AI when writing your paper, it will usually be necessary to disclose the use and cite the chat and/or AI tool."
