Artificial intelligence (AI) transforms higher education, empowering both educational development and faculty growth. By integrating AI tools into academic environments, institutions can personalize learning experiences, streamline administrative tasks, and enhance curriculum design. For faculty, AI improves professional growth, enabling data-driven insights, fostering innovative teaching strategies, and supporting continuous development through adaptive learning technologies. As education evolves in the digital age, leveraging AI enriches the student experience while equipping educators with the tools needed to thrive in a dynamic, technology-enhanced academic system.
Empowering Educational Development and Faculty Growth With AI explores the usage of AI as a strategic tool for enhancing curriculum design, faculty development, and institutional innovation in education. It presents educational developers as key change agents that strategically leverage AI to transform teaching, learning, and faculty professional development. This book covers topics such as teacher education, curriculum development, and educational technology, and is a useful resource for educators, computer engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
