Using Generative AI Effectively in Higher Education explores how higher education providers can realise their role and responsibility in harnessing the power of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) ethically and sustainably.This rich collection of established and evaluated practices from across global higher education offers a practical guide to leading an agile institutional response to emerging technologies, building critical digital literacy across an entire institution, and embedding the ethical and sustainable use of GenAI in teaching, learning, and assessment. Including reflections from stakeholders testifying to the value of the approaches outlined, the book examines how higher education can equip staff and students with the critical-digital literacy necessary to use GenAI in work, study, and social life responsibly and with integrity. It provides an evidence-based resource for any kind of higher education (HE) provider (modern, college-based, and research-focused) looking for inspiration and approaches which can build GenAI capability and includes chapters on the development of cross-institutional strategy, policies and processes, pedagogic practices, and critical-digital literacy.This resource will be invaluable to educational leaders, educational developers, learning developers, learning technologists, course administrators, quality assurance staff, and HE teachers wishing to embrace and adapt to a GenAI-enabled world.

This innovative book offers a creative overview of personal tutoring and academic advising in higher education. It responds to the growing need for student support that is more inclusive, supportive, and focused on the whole student, rather than just their academic progress.Offering a fresh perspective on how personal tutoring can be transformed from a routine academic exercise into an impactful experience, the chapters encourage readers to reimagine the role of a tutor and adopt a student-centred approach that respects individuality and promotes growth. Divided into three key sections, the first section explores new ways of working with students, including coaching, group advising, and reverse mentoring. These approaches help build stronger relationships and support both academic and personal growth. The second section shares fun and creative activities – like scavenger hunts, meme-making, and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® – that help students reduce stress, feel more connected and engaged, and build confidence. The final section shows how personal tutoring can be part of the wider curriculum, with ideas such as using mindfulness, mentoring schemes, and early support for students who may be struggling or need additional guidance.With its blend of theory and practice, this book is an essential resource for anyone committed to making a lasting impact through education. Whether you are a seasoned tutor seeking to enhance your practice or a newcomer eager to make a difference, this book will equip you with the tools to foster meaningful connections, inspire critical thinking, and nurture lifelong learners.
