The text contains multimedia components and self-assessments to allow participants to asynchronously practice what they learn.

This toolkit is designed to inspire and support educators in understanding and integrating Generative AI (GenAI) tools within their teaching practices. The toolkit covers a wide range of relevant topics, from basic understanding and exploration of GenAI tools to ethical considerations and some practical implications in teaching. The toolkit also offers some resources that educators can delve deeper into the topics. However, the main purpose of the toolkit is to offer a beginner, a novice, someone still reluctant or fear to try or learn about those tools space to reflect and get started with some foundational practical and critical comprehension of GenAI, fostering informed-decision-making in its application within their educational contexts.

The book examines the underlying principles that guide effective teaching in an age when all of us, and in particular the students we are teaching, are using technology.

The book enables teachers and instructors to help students develop the knowledge and skills they will need in a digital age: not so much the IT skills, but the thinking and attitudes to learning that will bring them success.
