Across ten brief chapters, it addresses planning, teaching materials, large classes, assessment, feedback, student AI use, professional growth, and research ethics. Each chapter offers a simple framework, a worked example from an Indian higher education context, and one zero-cost action teachers can attempt immediately. Built on the AI Interaction Knowledge framework and the institutionally implemented C²E assessment model, the guide argues that AI may draft, suggest and assist, but judgement, integrity and every decision remain with the teacher. Description: A practical open access guide showing higher education teachers how to use AI for planning, teaching, assessment, feedback and research without surrendering professional judgement. Ten short chapters, each with a simple framework, a worked example and one zero-cost weekly action. The companion volume to AI in the Classroom Before the Classroom. 2026-07-16T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/164 Title: AI in the Classroom Before the Classroom: A Practitioner's Guide for Teacher Educators and Pre-Service Teachers in India Authors: Gupta, Adit Abstract: Artificial intelligence is reshaping education faster than most teacher education institutions have been able to respond. This guide offers a practical, jargon-free resource for teacher educators and pre-service teachers navigating that change. Organised around the stages of pre-service teacher preparation, it covers lesson planning, micro-teaching, school internship, assessment redesign, multilingual classrooms, ethics, and institutional getting-started strategies. Grounded in the AI Interaction Knowledge (AIK) framework and the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (C²E) model developed at MIER College of Education, Jammu, every chapter concludes with one concrete action the reader can take immediately. This guide was written for the Monday morning classroom, not the conference hall. Description: This guide was written for teacher educators and pre-service teachers who want to engage with artificial intelligence practically and purposefully, without the jargon, the hype, or the assumption that everyone is starting from the same place. Organised around the real stages of pre-service teacher preparation in India, it moves from lesson planning and micro-teaching through school internship, assessment redesign, multilingual classrooms, and institutional getting-started strategies. Every chapter is grounded in the realities of B.Ed. and ITEP programmes across Indian cities, towns, and districts, and every chapter ends with one concrete action the reader can take immediately, no budget, no institutional approval, and no technical expertise required. At the heart of the guide is the AI Interaction Knowledge framework, which proposes four practical competencies for working effectively and critically with AI, and the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation model, both developed through research and practice at MIER College of Education, Jammu. This is not a guide about what AI might do for education someday. It is a guide about what teacher educators and student teachers can do with AI right now, on Monday morning, in the classrooms and institutions they already work in. 2026-06-28T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/32 Title: Conducting Online Open-Book Examinations: Guidelines for Teachers Authors: Gupta, Adit Abstract: With more and more Universities and Colleges adopting the Open-book examination system for assessing the learning outcomes of the students as a result of the pandemic situation, there is a need for teachers to understand the process of creating a meaningful Open-book exam. The Open-book examination is a method of testing, usually in an unsupervised environment, that allows students to use textbooks, class notes and other reference material to complete the exam. These exams are conducted to assess a range of competencies but are especially useful for evaluating a student’s ability for higher-order thinking over their ability to recall factual information. 2020-06-28T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/16 Title: Online Assessment of Students' Learning Authors: Gupta, Adit Abstract: The abrupt shift to online teaching and learning as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions at all levels whether it be schools, college or a university to relook at various approaches for conducting remote learning and assessing students' progress. With all educational transactions happening through the blended or the hybrid approach, it would be worthwhile to have a look at how students need to be assessed and their learning outcomes evaluated. It has become imperative for teachers to adopt new techniques for online assessment so that the way we assess students’ knowledge and skills is akin to the way they are being taught primarily in the blended learning environment. 2022-12-14T00:00:00Z
