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

Beyond AI Adoption: Designing Learning for an Age of Abundant Intelligence

Beyond AI Adoption: Designing Learning for an Age of Abundant Intelligence | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From campustechnology.com - July 1, 12:49 PM
Higher education was designed for a world in which access to knowledge, expertise, feedback, mentorship, and authentic learning experiences were inherently scarce. By making many forms of intelligence increasingly abundant, AI is inherently redefining the existing paradigm.

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"AI shifts education from information access to capability development: As explanation, feedback, guidance, and simulation become more abundant, higher education must place greater emphasis on judgment, application, competency, and responsible use of knowledge."

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
From edu-ai.org - April 24, 1:40 PM

"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."

Read more
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."
