Introduction

This chapter explores the critical need to adapt course design in response to the emergence of Gen AI in higher education. Rather than viewing AI as just another technological tool, it presents AI as a transformative force that requires educators to rethink their teaching approaches and assessment methods in fundamental ways. While change can be uncomfortable, staying with traditional methods may no longer serve students effectively in an AI-integrated world. The successful integration of AI in education isn’t about the technology itself but rather about reimagining learning goals, assessment methods, and learning activities to better prepare students for an AI-integrated future. Using Fink’s backward-integrated course design framework, this chapter provides a hands-on and structured step-by-step approach for educators to imagine new teaching and learning possibilities and incorporate AI literacy effectively and intentionally.
