Publisher's Synopsis
This insightful book provides a much-needed exploration into how the rapid expansion of generative AI over the last few years has impacted higher education. Addressing the good, the bad, and the ugly elements of this technological revolution, editors Kätlin Pulk and Riina Koris bring together an international collective of contributors to answer the question: how can we ensure that reliance on AI in higher education still enables positive, proactive teaching and learning?
Contrasting perspectives are explored, from educator viewpoints to student attitudes on AI usage, presenting a holistic illustration of the many, often polarizing responses to AI in the classroom. Chapters investigate what higher education could stand to gain from the use of generative AI, and which challenges are involved, looking at the broader implications, opportunities, and threats of usage of generative AI in higher education. This timely book further covers implications for teaching methods and insight into the impact of generative AI usage on student learning experiences as well as offering practical guidelines and warnings about uncritical use of generative AI in scientific research.
This thought-provoking book is beneficial to scholars and educators in higher education, particularly those concerned about the rapid development of AI technologies. Students of disciplines such as education theory, ethics, and development will additionally find it useful.
