Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Artificial intelligence is transforming higher education, yet most institutional responses remain reactive. Faculty are left to create their own AI policies, students encounter inconsistent expectations from course to course, and institutions struggle to balance academic integrity, innovation, accreditation, and workforce preparation.The Architectural University argues that AI integration is fundamentally a curricular design challenge rather than a technological one. Rather than asking whether AI should be permitted, the book asks a more important educational question:What role should AI play at different stages of student development?To answer that question, the book introduces the AI-Course Application Matrix (AI-CAM), a seven-level developmental framework that helps faculty intentionally align AI use with learning outcomes, assessment, ethics, and disciplinary expectations. The framework then expands beyond individual courses to show how institutions can develop coherent AI policies, faculty development strategies, governance systems, and assessment practices.Rather than advocating for more AI, the book advocates for better educational design.The book concludes by introducing the concept of the Architectural University, a model in which AI serves the institutional mission instead of driving it.
