AI Hacks for Educators (2024)

• This second book from the University of Central Florida Libraries offers 50+ Practical Tips for Faculty to Save Time by Using GenAI. It is authored by Kevin Yee, Laurie Uttich, Eric Main, and Elizabeth Giltner.

• The authors first defined AI Fluency in a book called ChatGPT Assignments to Use in Your Classroom Today (2023). Since then, they’ve updated this definition to include five components: 1. Understanding how AI works, 2. Deciding when to use AI (and when not to), 3. Applying effective prompt engineering methods, 4. Displaying digital adaptability, and 5. Adding human value 

Digital Skills: Artificial Intelligence

• “Artificial intelligence” (2024) is book 5 of 5 in Charles Sturt University’s Digital Skills series. It contains two modules to help undergraduate and graduate students develop skills in using AI tools in their studies. The book includes guidance on the responsible use of AI tools and information on benefits, risks, and ethical considerations for students.

AI-Enhanced Instructional Design

• This 2023 book, published by the University of Saskatchewan, was written by Paula MacDowell, Kristin Moskalyk, Katrina Korchinski, and graduate students enrolled in Educational Technology and Design (ETAD) 873. This book presents practical examples of AI applications that are versatile and suitable for a broad spectrum of instructional activities, alongside others that have more specific uses. It explores effective ways AI can generate high-quality course content, foster creativity, personalize learning, and drive innovation. Across the 18 chapters, the authors emphasize the need to work together to ensure AI’s ethical and responsible use in educational settings.

Course Enhancement with Generative AI

This 3-4 hour, online, self-paced workshop is offered by the University of South Florida. Participants explore a series of generative AI (GenAI) use case tutorials, interact with peers, and gain hands-on experience in the context of teaching and learning. Participants construct their own GenAI course enhancement plan to implement immediately in their courses.
