Generative AI in Teaching and Learning

Generative AI in Teaching and Learning delves into the revolutionary field of generative artificial intelligence and its impact on education. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted applications of generative AI in both formal and informal learning environments, shedding light on the ethical considerations and immense opportunities that arise from its implementation. From the early approaches of utilizing generative AI in teaching to its integration into various facets of learning, this book offers a profound analysis of its potential. Teachers, researchers, instructional designers, developers, data analysts, programmers, and learners alike will find valuable insights into harnessing the power of generative AI for educational purposes. The book covers a wide range of topics, including generative AI applications in artwork, coding, writing, research, collaboration, and more. It examines the implications of public generative AI interfaces and explores how generative AI can be effectively utilized in formal education settings, such as accredited institutions. The roles of teachers, content creation, instructional design, research, community service, sports, policies, assignments, grading, student work, and programming are all examined in relation to generative AI. Furthermore, the book explores the use of generative AI in nonformal and informal teaching and learning, emphasizing the opportunities for self-learning, group learning, and social change that arise from its implementation. It also delves into the professional ethics surrounding the application of generative AI in education. While examining the potential benefits of generative AI, the book also addresses the risks associated with demotivation for skill acquisition, deskilling, and downskilling. It highlights the opportunities for upskilling and encourages educators and learners to engage in learning practices that leverage the power of generative AI.
