In recent years, remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence technology have created new opportunities for transforming educational systems and enhancing student learning. This study focuses on designing a model for an AI-based intelligent assistant to provide a personalized learning experience in higher education. A qualitative approach…

The ethics surrounding the development and deployment of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is an important topic as institutions of higher education adopt the technology for educational purposes. Concurrently, stakeholders from various organizations have reviewed the literature about the ethics of genAI and proposed frameworks about it.…

We investigated methods to enhance the generalizability of large language models (LLMs) designed to classify dimensions of collaborative discourse during small group work. Our research utilized five diverse datasets that spanned various grade levels, demographic groups, collaboration settings, and curriculum units. We explored different model…

We propose a novel method for automated short answer grading (ASAG) designed for practical use in real-world settings. The method combines LLM embedding similarity with a nonlinear regression function, enabling accurate prediction from a small number of expert-graded responses. In this use case, a grader manually assesses a few responses, while…

How can novel AI techniques be made and put to use in the library? Combining methods from data and library science, this article focuses on Natural Language Processing technologies, especially in national libraries. It explains how the National Library of Sweden's collections enabled the development of a new BERT language model for Swedish. It…

Think-aloud protocols are a common method to study self-regulated learning (SRL) during learning by problem-solving. Previous studies have manually transcribed and coded students' verbalizations, labeling the presence or absence of SRL strategies and then examined these SRL codes in relation to learning. However, the coding process is difficult to…

Peer assessment can be a more effective pedagogical method when reviewers provide quality feedback. But what makes feedback helpful to reviewees? Other studies have identified quality feedback as focusing on detecting problems, providing suggestions, or pointing out where changes need to be made. However, it is important to seek students'…

Classroom dialogue is crucial for effective teaching and learning, prompting many professional development (PD) programs to focus on dialogic pedagogy. Traditionally, these programs rely on manual analysis of classroom practices, which limits timely feedback to teachers. To address this, artificial intelligence (AI) has been employed for rapid…

Software assistants have significantly impacted software development for both practitioners and students, particularly in capstone projects. The effectiveness of these tools varies based on their knowledge sources; assistants with localized domain-specific knowledge may have limitations, while tools, such as ChatGPT, using broad datasets, might…

The use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) large language models has increased in both professional and classroom technical writing settings. One common response to student use of GAI is to increase surveillance, incorporating plagiarism detection services or banning certain composing activities from the classroom. This paper argues such…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, exemplified by systems including Open AI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Bing AI, and Google's Bard (now Gemini 1.5Pro), present both challenges and opportunities for the academic world. Higher education institutions are at the forefront of preparing students for this evolving landscape. This…

Adult learners are a neglected species in the generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) era. The sweeping changes brought by GenAI in the educational arena have implications for adult learning. GenAI in education will usher in a world of adult learning that will be radically different from its predecessor. However, how adult learners will apply…

This essay presents a framework of critical questions designed to guide EdD program leaders and faculty in integrating generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into their curricula and policies. The REPAC framework aids in reflecting, reenvisioning, and redesigning educational practices to better incorporate GenAI, focusing on how candidates…

ChatGPT a state-of-the-art language model created by Open Artificial Intelligence (AI), can revolutionize education by improving student engagement and making learning more personalized. Consequently, the study's purpose is to evaluate the antecedent factors that the influence usage and continuance usage of a recently introduced AI-based tool…

Encouraging teachers to reflect on their instructional practices and course design has been shown to be an effective means of improving instruction and student learning. However, the process of encouraging reflection is difficult; reflection requires quality data, thoughtful analysis, and contextualized interpretation. Because of this, research on…
