The acclaimed book “The Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning” received a second edition, updated to cover basics, practical classroom applications, and ethical considerations such as cheating and academic integrity.
The book offers strategies for using AI to support course prep, grading, and assignment creation. It also emphasizes the need for critical thinking and AI literacy to prepare students for a changing world.
This guide for educators aims to demystify AI for faculty, providing actionable advice and exercises to help them navigate this new educational landscape.
The two authors are C. Edward Watson, Associate Vice President for Curricular and Pedagogical Innovation at the AAC&U, and José Antonio Bowen, former president of Goucher College and author of Teaching Naked.
The book comes with a useful website, weteachwithai.com, which includes an up-to-date list of AI models, practical guides to build and deploy bots, a library of practical AI prompts, and slides with updated citations for presentations.
The authors will conduct a four-part, live workshop series in February and March about how to teach in the age of AI, as part of an AAC&U-organized program.
