Full Description
AI is reshaping higher education—fast. This book brings together faculty, instructional designers, technologists, and academic leaders who are on the front lines of that change. Their chapters offer honest reflections, practical examples, and thoughtful perspectives on how AI is influencing course design, assessment, student support, policy, and leadership. Rather than hype or fear, the contributors offer grounded insight: what it takes to integrate AI in ways that are ethical, equitable, and truly student-centered. They explore both opportunities and risks, with an eye toward long-term impact—not just short-term solutions. Whether you're charting an institutional AI strategy or simply trying to understand what's ahead, this collection is a timely guide. It doesn't treat AI as a magic fix, but as a tool—one that, when used wisely, can help higher education become more human, not less.
