The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching

Podcast Event with Annette Vee, Marc Watkins, and Derek Bruff

Hosted by Eric Mazur, Social Learning Amplified brings candid conversations with educators who are finding new ways to engage and motivate their students inside and outside the classroom.

‍The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching will equip instructors with practical strategies for teaching effectively in the age of AI. AI-aware teaching means understanding how the technology impacts course goals, assignments, and students so that instructors can adapt with confidence. The guide provides steps for how to do so—whether the instructor is embracing AI, setting firm boundaries, or finding a balance. Flexible guidance and useful applications across disciplines empower instructors to adapt their learning outcomes to be AI aware.
