It’s book release week! The ebook version of The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching publishes on July 1st, the day after this episode drops. I am very excited to have this book, co-authored with Annette Vee and Marc Watkins, out in the world! 

I wanted to put the spotlight on the new book, but I didn’t want to have to interview myself, so I asked my colleague and friend Stacey Johnson to interview me, Annette, and Marc about the book. Stacey and I worked together at the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching, and she’s now the director of learning and engagement for the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities. I'm happy to share that wide-ranging interview in this episode. Thanks, Stacey!

You can order The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching ebook through Norton, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever you get your ebooks. The ebook will be available for free to faculty who have adopted Norton textbooks--contact your local Norton representative to get access.

If you would like to order multiple copies for a campus reading group or some other faculty development effort, Norton offers a significant discount. To take advantage of this offer, contact Peter Wentz at pwentz@wwnorton.com with subject line “Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching.”

Norton is hosting a launch party for the book on July 8th at 1:30pm Central. It's free to attend, and you can register here. Perusall is hosting an asynchronous book club for the new book from July 6th to August 2nd on their social annotation platform, and you can find out more about that here.
