Abstract
The advent of artificial intelligence and concerns over academic integrity have put instructors from every discipline on notice regarding the kinds of coursework we are assigning. But this is also a moment to deliver content in a manner that is clearer and more dynamic, use more active forms of learning, and improve the academic and professional outcomes of our students. This article surveys the most common themes and approaches from the pages of the journal and offers some suggestions for how AI and generative technologies can augment our teaching and allow instructors to focus on higher-level learning outcomes.
