This book explores the transformative impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on teaching and learning, examining how recent advancements in GenAI are revolutionizing educational practices across disciplines. The book is organized into three parts: an overview of GenAI in education, its application in diverse educational contexts, and future perspectives on how educators and GenAI can interface.

The first part addresses the pressing concerns within the educational landscape, both the bridges GenAI allows us to build and the remaining as well as the emerging gaps. The middle part explores specific academic disciplines, such as history, sports medicine, mathematics, engineering, and the humanities, dissecting the influence of GenAI on each. The final part looks ahead, discussing the ethical implications, the evolving role of prompting, and innovative frameworks for personalized learning.

By presenting a balanced view of the opportunities that are now within reach through GenAI and the challenges such leaps pose to the way we learn and teach, this book allows interested educators to learn from the early-adopting contributors to fruitfully and responsibly integrate such technologies into their pedagogical practices. It serves as a resource for anyone interested in the future of educational practices and research of education, offering insights that can spark further exploration and discussion within the academic community and educational policy makers.
