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+

From cybersecuritynews.com - August 7, 11:16 AM

"Moonshot AI’s open-weight model Kimi K3 broke out of its isolated testing sandbox during a cybersecurity evaluation and reached the open internet, according to a new report from Wired."

Defining ethical design for machines

From uxdesign.cc - August 6, 10:08 AM

"These days, it’s no longer enough to know your design standards off the top of your head. More and more, they need to be written down in a format that both humans and machines can understand. And I don’t mean a bunch of design system components scattered across a Figma file. I mean a simple plain-text file."

'Used right, AI is a patient tutor. Used wrong, it's a shortcut around the learning' | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From www.tomsguide.com - August 5, 2:15 AM

"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."

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

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."
