Grading assignments is inherently subjective and time-consuming; automatic scoring tools can greatly reduce teacher workload and shorten the time needed for providing feedback to learners. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel method for automatically scoring student responses to picture-cued writing tasks. As a popular paradigm for…

Technology-enhanced language learning has exerted positive effects on the performance and engagement of L2 learners. Since the advent of tools based on recent advancement in artificial intelligence (AI), educators have made major strides in applying state-of-the-art technologies to writing classrooms. In November 2022, an AI-powered chatbot named…

From September 2023 to March 2024, Faculty AI, the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) and ImpactEd Group (representing the AI in Schools Initiative) have worked with the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver the Use Cases for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education project. The project explored potential applications for Generative…

Despite the plethora of studies on the role of noticing in second language learning, little is known about the role of AI-operated feedback in noticing errors and uptake "during" and "after" writing. To address this gap, this study primarily aimed to investigate the impact of feedback modes and timing on L2 students' noticing…

Background/purpose: The study examined the impact of artificial intelligence on strategic decision-making in business management, focusing on Educational and Business Environments, with a particular emphasis on internal capabilities, organizational readiness, ethical considerations, and regional contextual factors that affect AI integration.…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into construction education is transforming how future professionals approach estimation tasks. This study examines the role of Togal AI--an AI-powered estimation tool--alongside the industry-preferred Bluebeam Revu 20 in undergraduate construction education. Through a structured experiment with 60…

As international students increasingly pursue higher education in English-dominant countries, developing their academic writing skills is crucial. However, limited access to individualized feedback remains a challenge. AI-driven tools and self-assessment offer promising solutions, making feedback more accessible. This study involved 50…

Kaggle is a data modeling competition service, where participants compete to build a model with lower predictive error than other participants. Several years ago they released a simplified service that is ideal for instructors to run competitions in a classroom setting. This article describes the results of an experiment to determine if…

Human-guided machine learning can improve computing intelligence, and it can accurately assist humans in various tasks. In education research, artificial intelligence (AI) is applicable in many situations, such as predicting students' learning paths and strategies. In this study, we explore the benefits of repetitive practice of short-answer…

This study investigates the impact of feedback generated by large language models (LLMs) on improving the essay-writing skills of first-year university students in Hong Kong. Specifically, it examines how generative AI supports students in revising their essays, enhances engagement with writing tasks, and influences their emotional responses…

This report stems from the Data Innovation in US Education initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The work was led by the Preva Group, in partnership with IMPAQ and Periscopic. The initiative had three overarching goals: to support the Foundation's efforts to better understand the impact of their education investments; to…

This study is a review of trends in information-handling technology and significant developments which are changing or will change the general environment within which archivists and records managers in international organizations will have to work.
