Educational institutions around the world have been integrating AI into their educational practices. Many studies and reports highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of this integration. This paper focuses on the positive aspects of AI in education, specifically through the lens of a high school geometry project at a technology-focused…

Conceptual knowledge encompasses understanding the interrelationships among multiple pieces of information. Misconceptions of these interrelationships illustrate the need for effective educational strategies to facilitate conceptual change, with the goal of facilitating changes in learner understanding to appropriate, accurate, and complete…

Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, yet its integration into education remains underutilized. This paper advocates for embedding AI tools in curriculum design to personalize learning experiences, address diverse student needs, and equip learners with future-ready skills. By leveraging AI's capabilities, educators can create…

This computational exercise gives students an in-depth look at the reactants, transition state, and product of the crystal violet alkaline hydrolysis reaction. The exercise, which is aimed at second semester general chemistry students, involves DFT energy calculations on five structures: crystal violet cation, crystal violet alcohol, and 4-water…

The advent of GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) technologies, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's New Bing, and Google's Bard, has recently sparked lively discussions in various industries. However, it is still unclear what impact the advent of GPT will have on the academic sectors. In light of this, we have undertaken a summary and…

Governments and private sectors are now putting in place the needed resources and infrastructure to harness the power of emerging technologies in education. One of these technologies is Artificial Intelligence (AI) which gained increasing attention due to its potential to enhance learning and teaching experiences, hence achieving better learning…

We begin our introduction by acknowledging the valid anxieties of faculty who face rapid technological change brought on by Generative AI (GenAI) tools without adequate institutional support or training. While some scholars advocate for GenAI resistance and others for wholesale adoption, the voices included within this volume argue for a balanced,…

Gamification is a commonly used strategy in physical education (PE) to enhance students' learning experiences. The gamification of digital or video games is used to increase the relevance of PE teachings and physical activity in general. This article describes Kingdom Ball, a gamification of elements from the popular online game, Clash of Clans®.…

Although Charles Sanders Peirce died over a century before ChatGPT became publicly available, we argue that he remains informative in discussions of AI because of his articulation of the Pragmatic Maxim. We argue that Peirce's pragmatism offers two avenues from which the appropriateness or inappropriateness of AI in education can be evaluated: (1)…

This article explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, highlighting its transformative potential and benefits over traditional teaching methods. While VR enhances skills acquisition and patients interaction competencies, challenges such as high upfront costs, misconceptions, and unequal access remain. The incorporation…

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) into public relations and communication education presents new challenges and ethical considerations for educators. This paper presents a series of activities to explore implications of genAI adoption in public relations and communication professions, focusing on the need to equip…

Recently, the option to use large language models as a middleware connecting various AI tools and other large language models led to the development of so-called large multimodal foundation models, which have the power to process spoken text, music, images and videos. In this overview, we explain a new set of opportunities and challenges that…
