Artificial Intelligence Disclosure

This Open Educational Resource was created with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence. Microsoft Copilot was utilized to enhance various aspects of the content, including brainstorming of fictional characters. While human authors and editors created, reviewed, and refined the material, the integration of AI helped to jumpstart the outline creation process and has enabled us to provide a more comprehensive educational resource.

Adobe Firefly, powered by artificial intelligence, was used to artificially generate reference photos for some of the illustrations utilized in the chapters of this resource.

In addition, the audio narrations of characters in this resource were artificially generated using the Arizona State University EdPlus Voiceover Generator tool, powered by artificial intelligence.
