Teaching with AI by
How AI is revolutionizing the future of learning and how educators can adapt to this new era of human thinking. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we learn, work, and think. Its integration into classrooms and workplaces is already underway, impacting and challenging ideas about creativity, authorship, and education. In this groundbreaking and practical guide, teachers will discover how to harness and manage AI as a powerful teaching tool. José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson present emerging and powerful research on the seismic changes AI is already creating in schools and the workplace, providing invaluable insights into what AI can accomplish in the classroom and beyond. By learning how to use new AI tools and resources, educators will gain the confidence to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by AI. From interactive learning techniques to advanced assignment and assessment strategies, this comprehensive guide offers practical suggestions for integrating AI effectively into teaching and learning environments. Bowen and Watson tackle crucial questions related to academic integrity, cheating, and other emerging issues. In the age of AI, critical thinking skills, information literacy, and a liberal arts education are more important than ever. As AI continues to reshape the nature of work and human thinking, educators can equip students with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. This book serves as a compass, guiding educators through the uncharted territory of AI-powered education and the future of teaching and learning.
Please join us in a series of hands-on workshops centered around the work of José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson entitled, Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning.
Dr. Bowen will lead each of the events.
AI is rapidly changing how humans work, think, and communicate: it could improve or destroy human relationships. AI is also changing how we think about average. If AI can produce consistent "C" work, then we need to update our policies and grading. AI is even changing creativity. Courses, learning goals and curriculum will need to change in this new age. This introduction will preview later topics and also give you a chance to frame how you think about AI. BRING YOUR LAPTOP. CAT116 & ZOOM
AI is also changing how we think about average. If an AI can produce consistent "C" work, then we need to update our policies around grading: Why would an employer hire a “C” student if an AI can do that level of work? Together, we will design new rubrics for an AI era that articulate how human ‘quality’ goes beyond AI. We will discuss what policies and practices improve motivation and decrease cheating and why.

All assignments are now AI Assignments. In the same way that the ease of finding information on the Internet forced faculty to rethink what homework students did and how we wanted them to do it, we will all need an AI strategy for assignments and assessments. We will consider both potential strategies: making your assignments AI-resistant or AIInclusive. Since most work will soon be AI-assisted work, we can help prepare students for the jobs of the future with assignments that require or suggest that students use AI to assist in completing them. Through a wide diversity of examples, we will also see how we can reduce cheating and raise standards. BRING YOUR LAPTOP. CAT116 & ZOOM
Writing has always been assisted by technology: erasers, typewriters, and computers all changed process and how writing is a form of thinking. How do we prepare students for a new era of AI-assisted writing? Is prompt writing also writing? The rise of spelling and grammar checking changed grading and allowed more focus on style and content, and AI could do the same. There are still ways to help students learn to write without AI, but we need to be intentional about process and version history. At the same time, writing with AI creates a need to raise the bar on quality. BRING YOUR LAPTOP. CAT116 & ZOOM
