Generative AI systems, such as ChatGPT and Bard, can significantly enhance education by providing personalized learning experiences. They can tailor content, quizzes, and explanations to individual students; act as virtual tutors, and offer instant feedback. However, privacy concerns have arisen because of the need for personal data. Ensuring…

This work was developed to present constructive steps of multiple integrals using the open-source software Geogebra. The main focus was directed towards creating three-dimensional graphs of integrals through Riemann sums in two variables. Some practical examples are developed to demonstrate the reliability of the presented results, which are…

GPT-based models have enabled the creation of natural language chatbots that support both Inquiry-Based and Structured Learning approaches. This study offers a direct comparison of these two paradigms within a UNIX Shell scripting course by means of two chatbots: a Lesson Plan-Driven chatbot that ensures all students cover the same topics…

Practical work in optics is essential to understand complex abstract phenomena. Consequently, hands-on experiments are part of most physics' curricula, despite the fact that they can be hard to set up and maintain. In this article, we present a virtual laboratory tool, called SHIRE, which allows students to carry out optical experiments from a…

Unified Modelling Language (UML) class diagrams are standard tools in software engineering education, typically analysed for syntactical correctness rather than their communicative dimensions. This study applies semiotic theory to investigate how first-year Bachelor of Computer Information Systems students engage with UML class diagrams as…

With the proliferation of easy-to-use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, students in college composition courses can and do take advantage of such technology to assist with essay writing. While a growing body of research does not see using these tools as a problem in itself, institutional, departmental, and instructor policies about generative…

The article presents the application of 3D technologies in STEAM education through a conducted scientific research, highlighting the role of 3D modeling and 3D printing as an innovative approach in achieving an interdisciplinary learning model. The research included the following stages: preparation for designing a detailed 3D steam locomotive…

This article presents a case study involving the use of a Free and Open-Source Software programming environment to teach a thematic unit within the Information Literacy curriculum for first-year adult learners at a Second Chance School in Greece. This study explores the implementation of a modern, hands-on teaching approach tailored to the unique…

ICT tools in education are widely used to support the aim of achieving learning outcomes by improving critical areas such as student engagement, participation, and motivation. In this study, we examine literature to explore how game elements are used in capturing students' interest, which the study suggests is fundamental to the teaching and…

Over the last four decades, studies have investigated the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education. A recent prominent AI-powered technology that has impacted the education sector is ChatGPT. This article provides a systematic review of 14 empirical studies incorporating ChatGPT into various educational settings, published in…

The study sought to examine the gender, faculty and school-based disparity that exists in students' research self-efficacy, perception of ethics in research and the level of stress they face in conducting research. A sample of 385 undergraduate students from the faculty of business and hospitality were selected from three public universities in…

This study evaluates Large language models (LLMs)' performance on Chinese Postgraduate Medical Entrance Examination (CPGMEE) as well as the hallucinations produced by LLMs and investigate their implications for medical education. We curated 10 trials of mock CPGMEE to evaluate the performances of 4 LLMs (GPT-4.0, ChatGPT, QWen 2.1 and Ernie 4.0).…

The HCS12 microcontroller and DRAGON12-Light Trainer boards are extensively utilized in microprocessor system design education. This paper details the rationale, approach, and outcomes from implementing the DRAGON12-Light Trainer board in teaching an upper-level undergraduate microprocessors course at Oakland University. The course's primary goal…

This two-part study describes a learning exercise including a video and a worksheet designed to raise students' awareness of the need to evaluate the completeness of references generated by ChatGPT. The first part of the study assesses the completeness and relevance of academic references generated by ChatGPT using four prompts and three versions…

The ability to think critically is an important and valuable skill that students should develop to successfully solve problems. The process of writing requires critical thinking (CT), and the subsequent piece of text can be viewed as a product of CT. One of the strategies educators may use to develop CT is modelling. Given ChatGPT's ability to…
