This book will appeal to a wide readership including those involved in governance, leadership, management, scholarship, teaching and research in higher education institutions.
The book was written to contribute to and support higher education, as this sector is the one most familiar to the authors.
Much of the of the content is based on the Australian context. However, the principles and values are consistent with many international higher education environments. It is anticipated that the book will have global appeal and mobility.
Both authors have worked with cohorts of international staff and students throughout their careers.
While the book is formatted and positioned as a staff professional development manual, it contains critical and valuable advice for all stakeholders.
There are challenging questions and activities for those responsible for governance and management of higher education.
There are learning and development activities and team projects for academic staff, professional support staff and administrators.
There are suggestions for course designers and coordinators which incorporate AI technologies and raise the concept of co-creation of curriculum and assessment with students.
A consistent theme throughout the book, is the need to promote responsible and ethical use of AI across all aspects of higher education.
While the book was intended for higher education providers, already its relevance to the early childhood, primary and secondary sectors has been recognised. It application to these sectors will require some realignment and adjustment to the relevant demographic and context.
