approach.” David Mba, Vice Chancellor, Birmingham City University, UK “The book by Owoseni, Kolade, and Egbetokun is an important and timely contribution to this debate and it positively differs from much of the debate by exploring the opportunities and benefits that generative AI can offer.” Bernd Stahl, Professor of Critical Research in Technology, School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham, UK With the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI), teachers and learners now have access to powerful tools to enhance their productivity and effectiveness in their work. To meet the demands of this dynamic educational landscape, teachers must embrace AI to handle repetitive tasks, freeing them to focus on more intelligent and humanistic responsibilities. For learners, responsible use of AI could make learning more fun, personalized, flexible, and enriching. This insightful new book explores the evolving role of educators in higher education in a world of rapid technological advancements and provides a practical outline of the available technologies. By integrating Generative AI into teaching and learning, Higher Education Institutions can contribute to achieving inclusive and equitable quality education, a target of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Generative AI can be used to enhance teaching and learning experiences, foster creativity, and develop new learning experiences in higher education. This book is a valuable resource for educators navigating the ever-changing landscape of education technology. With scientific background, practical insights and actionable tips, this book will be of interest to scholars of emerging technologies and innovation in education. It will also be of practical use to instructors seeking to harness the power of generative AI, enhancing productivity and transforming their approach to personalized learning.
