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+

Your AI Training Program Is Teaching The Wrong Skill

Your AI Training Program Is Teaching The Wrong Skill | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
Corporate training rarely teaches AI judgment, yet that is the skills gap the WEF's 2025 report is actually describing.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Most corporate AI training teaches tool fluency: how to write a prompt, speed up a workflow. It rarely teaches judgment: knowing when to trust AI output, when to check it, and when not to use it at all."

4 Rules for eLearning Scenarios That Feel Real

4 Rules for eLearning Scenarios That Feel Real | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
People remember the moment they had to decide. Four rules for building scenarios that teach — and a 30-second mini scenario you can try inside the post.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"People forget bullet points. They remember the time they had to decide. That is why scenarios work: instead of telling learners what to do, you put them inside a situation and let them choose. Done well, a scenario turns dry content into something people feel — and what people feel, they keep."

When AI Can Write Everything They Submit: Learning verification in online teaching

"Every educator in higher education is grappling with AI right now. But the challenge lands differently in fully asynchronous online environments.

 

In a face-to-face course, a faculty member develops a running read on each student across the semester. They have heard students speak, watched them work through ideas in discussion, observed the moments where understanding arrived and the moments where it did not. When a submitted paper does not sound like the student who stumbled through an explanation two weeks ago, the discrepancy is recognizable. The faculty member has a reference point outside the artifact itself."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"But when AI can produce all of them, written artifacts can no longer serve reliably as evidence of student understanding. That is the specific challenge online educators face"

The Agentic Professor: Exploring GenAI-Supported Futures in Higher Education

"For centuries, higher education institutions have occupied a uniquely stable position in society. While technologies, from printing presses to the internet, have continually reshaped how colleges and universities operate, academic structures have remained remarkably resistant to transformation. Professors teach, evaluate, mentor, and certify; students study and progress through academic terms; credentials are awarded through processes deeply embedded in tradition. Today, agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is challenging that stability. In just a few years, AI has evolved from a novelty into a ubiquitous partner in writing, coding, designing, analyzing, simulating, and, increasingly, teaching."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"The Agentic Professor is a construct that helps colleges and universities explore how AI agents providing scalable, long-term personalized instruction could reshape teaching, assessment, and ultimately the role of faculty."
