OXFORD, Miss. – With artificial intelligence tools available on every phone, laptop and tablet, higher education has struggled to implement consistent recommendations for how and when AI can be used. A new national guide seeks to change that.
“The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching” (W.W. Norton and Co., 2026) will offer instructors strategies for teaching in the age of AI, whether the instructor hopes to embrace the technology, prohibit it or strike a balance in the classroom. The e-book will be available in July, and the hard copy will be published in September.
