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

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+

The Final Piece of the Ed-Tech Backlash Has Finally Arrived

The Final Piece of the Ed-Tech Backlash Has Finally Arrived | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"I have been a high school teacher for almost three decades, spending almost all that time teaching seniors about American civics. My teaching tenure has overlapped with the rise of the very trends now engulfing our educational system: I have watched my students embrace smartphones, social media, online learning and now artificial intelligence.

 

But recently I have noticed something I never expected.

 

Many of my more thoughtful and honest students are becoming critics of the very technologies that shaped them."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"The generation that grew up on iPhones, spending much of every waking hour online, now seems to be awakening to the perils of a digital world neither they nor their parents fully understood."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"A study of 333 university students found that critical thinking, autonomy, and views of AI’s ethical and social value were associated with how learners managed their work with the technology."

Uncover the significance of AI personalization in learning platforms and the vital role of system infrastructure for success.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Adaptive learning platforms often fail not because of weak AI models, but weak architecture: shallow learner data, flat content libraries, one-time routing, and slow infrastructure. Real personalization requires continuous data, structured content, live feedback loops, and real-time response."

The twilight of the chatbots - by Ethan Mollick

The twilight of the chatbots - by Ethan Mollick | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"If you feel like things are accelerating in AI, you are probably right. Better AI models from the leading American AI labs have been releasing more quickly than ever (though government interventions stopped access temporarily to two of the most powerful models, Claude Fable and GPT-5.6)."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"As AIs can do longer and longer tasks, the way people are using AI is changing. Until recently, the dominant way to use AI was as a co-intelligence. You would ask the AI to do something, check the results, and then ask for it to do the next step of your job. By careful prompting and human attention, you could guide AIs to do complex and long-term tasks."

Why AI Fails After The Demo—And The Questions Leaders Should Ask First

Why AI Fails After The Demo—And The Questions Leaders Should Ask First | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it

"Typically, a company identifies a pain point (document processing, customer churn prediction, etc.) and spins up a proof of concept with a small team. It works in the lab, and leadership gets excited. Then it tries to operationalize it, and everything falls apart."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

Supporting Empathy in Online Classrooms: How AI tools enhance emotional intelligence

"As online education expands, educators face growing challenges in maintaining emotional connections with students while sustaining their own well-being. Emotional intelligence has long been recognized as a cornerstone of effective teaching, yet in digital spaces, cues are harder to read, and connection requires new strategies. This article explores how AI, when applied ethically, can amplify, not replace, the human touch in online classrooms"

"Most organizations believe digital transformation is a technology problem. It isn't. Technology is the easy part. It scales fast. It deploys cleanly. It looks impressive in dashboards. What doesn't scale at the same speed is behavior. And that is where transformation quietly breaks: the adoption gap."

"[T]he fight playing out in city councils and statehouses over screens versus no screens. But that is the wrong battle. Screens are not the enemy of learning. The real enemy is older than any device: a classroom where students sit isolated and a teacher is too swamped with grading and paperwork to notice who is falling behind until it is too late to help."

The revolution was the easy part. The announcement is one loud night. The evolution, the slow build starts the morning after, is the whole job.

"Here’s the quip nobody wants on a mug: revolutions don’t build things. A revolution hands you a new way of seeing, a great story, and a merch table. The building happens after, and it’s slow and unglamorous and done entirely by the people willing to raise a hand and say this isn’t right yet. That’s evolution and that’s where the actual work lives. And here’s the part worth saying out loud: it worked."

EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"A revolution, at its core, is a new way of seeing. It walks in, rearranges what you thought was possible, and hands you a blank page. Jakob Nielsen frames AI as the fourth great economic revolution, after tools, agriculture, and industry. Each one took something scarce and made it stupidly abundant: muscle, then food, then power, now cognition."
