Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is making its impact on all levels of education. However, these tools must be used with caution, and it is up to instructors to teach their students responsible use of Gen AI. Therefore, there is a need to understand views of teaching staff on how to integrate Gen AI into education to maximize its…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been introduced into tools and technologies, such as chatbots, for language teaching, allowing educators to better meet the needs of individual students. Chatbots may act as virtual tutors in online learning environments, giving students the ability to access leaning support as needed. Chatbots can improve…

ChatGPT, a chatbot based on a Generative Pre-trained Transformer model, can be used as a teaching tool in the educational setting, providing text in an interactive way. However, concerns point out risks and disadvantages, as possible incorrect or irrelevant answers, privacy concerns, and copyright issues. This study aims to categorize the…

This study assesses the impact of Moodle AI-powered chatbots and metacognitive teaching approaches on the academic performance of tertiary Business education students. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test control design and Activity theory, 83 final-year Business education students were sampled from a total of 324. Data were collected…

It is essential that students are encouraged to become rational thinkers for building thinking classrooms. Teachers must adopt rational questioning techniques to facilitate the development of rational behaviours in their students. However, the implementation of rational questioning requires the ability to respond to students based on their…

"Online Education" is a comprehensive exploration of fully online and blended teaching platforms, addressing history, theory, research, planning, and practice. As colleges, universities, and schools around the world accelerate their adoption of large-scale technologies and traditional class models shift into seamless, digitally…

Revolutionary technological advancements have introduced the integration of Conversational AI into a multitude of different settings. This widespread implementation has raised questions about the impact of AI on learning, its benefits are and its potential costs. This study aims to explore the perspectives of parents, investigating their…

"Teaching Literature with Artificial Intelligence" explores the use of chatbots as participants in the teaching and learning of literature in high school and college classrooms while highlighting potentially outmoded norms and expectations of ELA instruction. Artificial intelligence programs have profoundly altered the daily realities of…

This study investigated the efficacy of two distinct virtual training platforms, TeachLivE™ and Zoom with actors, in preparing preservice practitioners for behavior management in real-world settings. This exploratory study aimed to investigate individual participant skill acquisition and assess which platform better equipped participants with the…

This study explores how English language teachers use shared repertoire in virtual communities of practice (VCoPs) when integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into teaching. Using a qualitative analysis of discussions from three open Facebook groups, this study identifies how teachers actively collaborate online to share practical…

In the COVID-19 era, "Yellowdig" (an online discussion board with social media-like features) has increasingly risen to prominence in higher education. Reflecting on a multi-year experiment involving 14 international business and marketing courses, I argue that Yellowdig remains a valuable tool for learning even after returning to…

Large language models have recently been able to perform well in a wide variety of circumstances. In this work, we explore the possibility of large language models, specifically GPT-3, to write explanations for middle-school mathematics problems, with the goal of eventually using this process to rapidly generate explanations for the mathematics…

The study examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced gamification on learning outcomes and motivation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. A mixed-methods approach and quasi-experimental design were employed to compare the effectiveness of three instructional strategies: adaptive learning paths, conversational agents,…

Prior research has explored the impact of diverse anthropomorphic interventions on the effectiveness of AI (artificial intelligence) instructors. However, the exploration of interpersonal communication skills (e.g., self-disclosure) as anthropomorphic conversational cues for AI instructors is rare. Considering the positive impact of the…

In today's constantly changing world technological developments in artificial intelligence (AI) can induce educational visions of both utopia and dystopia. New technologies and communication platforms can provide new forms and possibilities of learning. Creating an image has historically mostly been a human process of using knowledge and…
