It brings together ideas, examples, tools, and resources that the authors have explored as part of their roles as AI Faculty Fellows in the Teaching for Learning Center at Mizzou. Whether you’re new to AI or already using it in your classes, we hope you’ll find something helpful, thoughtful, and practical.
