AI Assistants for Teaching and Learning

By Matthew J. Grawitch

This practical guide helps instructors design course-specific AI virtual assistants that enhance learning rather than replace it. Drawing on extensive experience developing educational assistants powered by large language models, the book presents a systematic framework for aligning AI with instructional goals, course content, and sound pedagogical practice. Instead of focusing on prompt engineering or artificial intelligence in general, it offers a design-centered approach to creating virtual assistants that foster critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and meaningful student engagement.
