GenAI-assisted Agile Course, Project-Based Teaching and Learning

This title represents an essential resource for understanding the evolving landscape of AI-augmented pedagogy, examining the transformative effects of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on education through the lens of agile course design and project-based learning. Through a detailed analysis of diverse empirical case studies from eight countries between 2015 and 2024, the authors effectively illustrate the dual impact of GenAI on education, academic integrity, and teacher autonomy. They demonstrate how GenAI can enhance personalized STEM education and STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading and Writing, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) instruction, as well as project-based learning, while simultaneously presenting significant challenges. They provide a nuanced assessment of the opportunities and disruptions introduced by GenAI and offer concrete pedagogical strategies for teaching practitioners. This book serves as a vital reference for scholars in GenAI, educational technology and curriculum, and instruction. It also provides practical, ready-to-implement pedagogical approaches for pre-service teachers in higher education and primary and secondary schools.
