This open-access textbook is written by Alexa Alice Joubin, based on her peer-reviewed research, and co-designed by Joubin, Thao My Tran (Information Systems / Business Analytics, GW), and Max Turer (GW coding consultant), in consultation with Misty Trunnell and with instructional designers Cirstabel Ocasio Ilarraza and Noah Bickford of the George Washington University’s Instructional Core, a team within the Libraries and Academic Innovation.

     This web-based textbook project is supported financially directly by the George Washington University Public Interest Technology Scholar fellowship (2024-26), Elliott School of International Affairs Undergraduate Research Assistant Award for “Trustworthy AI and Higher Education,” Adapting Course Materials for Equity Faculty Grant (news story; project impact) in 2022 and 2024, and indirectly by the Online Course Development grant in 2021 and 2023, GW Digital Humanities Institute, Trustworthy AI Initiative, the NSF Institute for Trustworthy AI in Law & Society (TRAILS), and GW Coders. These grants and teams enabled us to create an openly licensed, open-access, online textbook with interactive learning modules.
