Med Kharbach, PhD
Educator, researcher, and author working at the intersection of teaching, learning, and artificial intelligence.
I approach AI as a literacy issue, shaped by pedagogy, context, and purpose. My work supports educators in using AI thoughtfully across teaching, research, and assessment.
About My Work
I’m Med Kharbach, an educator, researcher, and part-time faculty at Mount Saint Vincent University in Canada. I completed both my Master of Education and PhD at MSVU. My scholarship developed around literacy, language, and educational technology, with a strong interest in critical perspectives on emerging literacies.
Since 2012, I have written extensively about educational technology through my platform Educators Technology. In recent years, my academic work has focused on generative artificial intelligence and its implications for teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education.
My current work includes a forthcoming book co-authored with Dr. Johanathan Woodworth, The BEARA Framework for Pedagogical Integration (Toronto University Press), which introduces a research-informed framework to support pedagogically grounded uses of AI in classrooms. We are also completing a second book on AI-enabled assessment, examining how assessment practices adapt in response to AI across educational contexts.
My Books
Teaching with AI presents practical classroom strategies for integrating artificial intelligence into teaching and learning. Grounded in learning science, the book helps educators design lessons that support thinking, creativity, and ethical AI use across subjects and grade levels.
ChatGPT for Teachers offers clear guidance on using generative AI for lesson planning, feedback, and instructional support. It focuses on prompt design and classroom workflows that save time while keeping teachers in control of learning goals and assessment decisions.
The AI Turn in Academic Research examines how generative AI reshapes academic research practices. It guides graduate students and researchers through literature review, analysis, and writing, with an emphasis on responsible use, scholarly rigor, and transparency.
AI Literacy Guides
A core part of my work involves creating AI literacy guides for teachers, educators, and academic professionals. These guides are designed to support thoughtful integration of artificial intelligence into teaching, learning, and research practices, with a focus on clarity, usability, and pedagogical purpose.
Each guide offers step-by-step insights grounded in current academic research, policy frameworks, and real classroom contexts. I draw on state-of-the-art scholarship, institutional guidelines, and practical experience to help educators make informed decisions about AI use, from instructional design and assessment to ethics, authorship, and professional practice.

Visuals for Teaching and Learning
Part of the work I do focuses on simplifying complex educational ideas, synthesizing research and practice, and turning them into clear, classroom-ready visuals. I design these posters to support teachers, educators, and researchers who want quick, reliable references they can actually use.
Below is a sample of the visuals I created this year. Each one distills a concept, framework, or strategy into a format that works for professional learning, teaching, and discussion.
