If you are a teacher, you know the drill. Students can now generate most traditional assignments simply by copying and pasting our instructions into their AI of choice. Our first impulse has been to catch these mindless papers. But our detectors are probabilistic, not certain. And more and more AI-generated work will escape detection. In the end, policing alone is not a winning strategy.

In Teaching in the Age of AI, after a little commiseration over our current pains, we shift our thinking to the future. The first question is how to re-imagine the forms our assignments take so that learning is still taking place. In part, this may require focusing more on the process of writing than the final product. At the same time, we do not want to miss the pedagogical opportunities of this moment. AI can be more than a tool. It can become a partner in learning.

Drawing on more than three decades of teaching experience in higher education, along with firsthand involvement in online course design and educational technology, Ken Schenck moves from diagnosis to re-imagining instruction, to practical AI tools, and finally to a vision of the future. Paired with the companion Udemy course of the same name, this book is a practical guide to teaching well in an AI-shaped world.
