generative AI & education

Generative AI and Education offers an introduction to generative AI in education through the lens of digital education and digital pedagogies, situating generative AI as an emerging technology within the landscape of learning innovation and learning design. Grounded in educational theory and practice, it contextualises the implications and opportunities presented by generative AI, providing concrete guidance and actionable pedagogy-informed advice to education practitioners exploring AI as a collaborator in the construction of knowledge.

New Horizons for Higher Education focuses on three key areas: the impact of GAI on current teaching and assessment practices, current applications and the shift to more learner- centred approaches; emerging GAI pedagogy, international best practices and early research findings on risks; and GAI and digital transformation, international regulation and the future skills agenda. It distils the key findings into actionable recommendations and provides clear guidance and direction aimed at assisting institutional leaders shape policy and strategy for GAI integration into teaching practice in a way that aligns with their institutional values and strategic priorities.

From AI Tools to AI Systems: Designing Pedagogical Systems for Learning argues that education faces a narrowing window to shape AI development, and that unless pedagogy is embedded at the system level—not merely added as modes or wrappers—education risks being reshaped by AI in ways that systematically erode human learning capacity. It presents the case for moving beyond adopting AI products to building pedagogical systems, and introduces frameworks that offer actionable paths toward creating AI systems that strengthen rather than diminish cognitive development.
