Evidence suggests custom chatbots are superior to commercial generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) systems for text-based anatomy content inquiries. This study evaluates ChatGPT-4o's and Claude 3.5 Sonnet's capabilities to interpret unlabeled anatomical images. Secondarily, ChatGPT o1-preview was evaluated as an AI rater to grade AI-generated…

Recent advances in generative pre-trained transformer large language models have emphasised the potential risks of unfair use of artificial intelligence (AI) generated content in an academic environment and intensified efforts in searching for solutions to detect such content. The paper examines the general functionality of detection tools for…

Introduction: Recent innovations in generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have led to an educational environment in which human authorship cannot be assumed, thereby posing a significant challenge to upholding academic integrity. Statement of the problem: Both humans and AI detection technologies have difficulty distinguishing…

Automated explanatory feedback systems play a crucial role in facilitating learning for a large cohort of learners by offering feedback that incorporates explanations, significantly enhancing the learning process. However, delivering such explanatory feedback in real-time poses challenges, particularly when high classification accuracy for…

For this study, 350 university students in Germany were surveyed to understand how they perceive ChatGPT's educational advantages and challenges. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, it found out that students tend to see ChatGPT as helpful for academic performance (53.14%), writing (47.14%), and exam preparation (50.00%).…

Teamwork skills are commonly evaluated by human assessors, which can be logistically challenging and resource intensive. Technological advancements provide an opportunity for a new assessment method -- virtual behavioural simulations with self-scoring algorithms. This study explores whether a rule-based algorithm can match human assessors at…

There is growing interest in the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist in various educational tasks, including writing assessment. However, the comparative efficacy of human and AI-powered systems in this domain remains a subject of ongoing exploration. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of human raters (teachers and…

During data collection, field interviewers often append notes or comments to a case in open text fields to request updates to case-level data. Processing these comments can improve data quality, but many are non-actionable, and processing remains a costly manual task. This article presents a case study using a novel application of machine learning…

Background/purpose: ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot designed with generative pre-trained transformer architecture, have intrigued millions of people from diverse backgrounds since its first release, and generated excitement with its groundbreaking performance in numerous use cases they have been tested. Its ability to generate coherent and…

An increasing number of studies have investigated how ChatGPT can aid in written assessment and feedback provision. However, many studies overlook its conversational design and underlying architecture, raising concerns about the reliability and validity of their analytical outputs. Therefore, applying first principles thinking to prompt use, and…

The interpretations of test scores in secure, high-stakes environments are dependent on several assumptions, one of which is that examinee responses to items are independent and no enemy items are included on the same forms. This paper documents the development and implementation of a C#-based application that uses Natural Language Processing…

Background/purpose: Artificial intelligence, namely ChatGPT, has garnered significant interest in language education due to its potential to enhance instruction and learning. Three primary topics are highlighted in this study's analysis of recent research on ChatGPT's use in language instruction: Reflection on instruction, instructor feedback, and…

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic writing has raised concerns regarding accuracy, ethics, and scientific rigour. Some AI content detectors may not accurately identify AI-generated texts, especially those that have undergone paraphrasing. Therefore, there is a pressing need for efficacious approaches or guidelines to…

Online courses often include discussion forums, which provide a rich source of data to better understand and improve students' learning experiences. However, forum messages frequently contain private information that prevents researchers from analyzing these data. We present a method for discovering and redacting private information including…

Question classification is a key point in many applications, such as Question Answering (QA, e.g., Yahoo! Answers), Information Retrieval (IR, e.g., Google search engine), and E-learning systems (e.g., Bloom's tax. classifiers). This paper aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature on automatic question classifiers and the technology…
