What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Navigating AI's impact within an educational context is a formidable task, one that requires a collective effort. In Teaching with AI, authors Bowen and Watson equip educators to adapt to these changes with integrity, practical wisdom, and creative inspiration. This book serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to harness the potential of AI to enhance their teaching and learning, while mitigating the challenges.
—Bonni Stachowiak, Producer and Host of the Teaching and Learning Podcast

This book is a veritable lifeline to those of us navigating the turbulent waters of AI in the postsecondary classroom, provided we are willing to take seriously the need to revisit our assumptions about both what constitutes learning as well as the value and purpose of college teaching.
—Kate Drezek McConnell, American Association of Colleges and Universities

This book is fantastic! Bowen and Watson deftly combine explanations of complex issues surrounding student use of AI, suggestions for integrating AI effectively into a wide range of teaching and learning situations, and examples of actual prompts to enhance the effectiveness of AI. This is so good I kept telling myself 'just a few more pages,' until I had read nearly the entire book in one sitting.   
—Todd Zakrajsek, co—author, Teaching at Its Best: A Research—Based Resource for College Instructors

Teaching with AI offers clarity for faculty overwhelmed by AI, explaining concepts in understandable terms and providing a historical foundation. Beyond classroom instruction techniques, it reveals innovative ways to integrate AI to reduce faculty workload and transform educational practices. Bowen and Watson empower educators to navigate AI's complexities without requiring prior knowledge. A must—read for any faculty, old or new.
—Stephanie Seketa, Ringling College of Art and Design

Timely and focused, Teaching with AI is essential reading for postsecondary educators. In addition to offering a concise primer, the book is packed with nuanced and specific examples, while staying focused on core principles of good pedagogy. Helping every student believe and experience 'I care, I can, I matter' in an age of AI may be the most important lesson from this thoughtful volume.
—Cassandra Volpe Horii, Stanford University, co—author of What Teaching Looks Like: Higher Education through Photographs

Leaders in higher education are facing a major dilemma: the need to respond quickly and effectively to the AI revolution. Teaching with AI offers a comprehensive invitation to faculty and others looking for inspiration as they seek to remake college pedagogy to fit the new realities of an AI—driven future.
—Michelle D. Miller, Northern Arizona University, author of Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology and Remembering and Forgetting in the Age of Technology: Teaching, Learning, and the Science of Memory in a Wired World

Lucid, practical, daring, yet grounded. Written in a pithy, engaging style, Teaching with AI offers a host of concrete, straightforward suggestions for classroom and professional applications. Bowen and Watson offer a nuanced discussion of academic integrity, the pitfalls of AI detection, and alternate approaches that can help.
—Anna Mills, College of Marin, author of How Arguments Work: A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College
