Faculty Development in the AI Era

There are a number of factors that are strengthening the position of higher education at a critical crossroads in an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly changing every facet of society, from researcher tools and recommendation systems to adaptive learning platforms. In the traditional classroom, where static lectures were once anchored, we are now witnessing the evolution of a highly dynamic learning environment, enhanced by innovative technology. As AI-driven platforms are increasingly transforming the curricular design processes, the assessment processes, academic support processes, and research methods, faculty members will need to develop new skill sets that combine technological fluency with critical reflection. Faculty Development in the AI Era addresses faculty development across all disciplines and areas. It goes beyond surface-level training, focusing on how educators can adapt their practices, communicate complex ideas, and mentor students as they navigate a changing knowledge landscape. Covering topics such as chatbots, ethics, and sustainable education, this book is an excellent resource for faculty members, faculty developers, academic leaders, administrators, academicians, researchers, and more.
