The emergence of ChatGPT, and other generative AI (GenAI) tools, has elicited dystopian and utopian proclamations concerning their potential impact on education. This paper suggests that responses to GenAI are based on often-implicit perceptions of naturalness and artificiality. To examine the depiction and function of these concepts, Gideon…

This study explored the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered conversational agents in human-computer interaction, particularly in the post-coronavirus (COVID-19) era, where digital technologies are central to healthcare, customer service, and education sectors. The research investigated the disruption of context continuity when users…

Back-and-forth conversations with others are vital for children's development in the early years. While children's conversation partners have traditionally been their parents, teachers, and peers, recent advances in artificial intelligence have led to the introduction of machines that understand human speech and generate natural responses, and…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots extend transformative impact in higher education. Current research requires more comprehensive evaluations of the collaborative learning fostered by students and GenAI chatbots. However, existing articles have rarely explored the dynamic process of student--AI collaboration in higher…

Significant advancements in voice chatbots have spurred interest into their role in second language learning (Conium, 2008), particularly their ability to assist in the development of learners' conversation skills in a target language. Many efforts have been made to explore AI's potential to act as conversation partners for language learners. Of…

Flipped classroom pedagogy, primarily focused on in-person classroom settings, emphasizes pre-class independent learning where students engage asynchronously with online materials and self-assessments. However, traditional pre-class learning methods, such as watching pre-recorded instructional videos and completing multiple-choice…

Generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, represents a significant technological advancement in natural language processing (NLP) large language models (LLM) with far-reaching implications in many dimensions of our lives, including education. This paper discusses the prospects of generative AI in utilizing language and its potential role as a…

Despite the increasing use of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning, few studies explored how to develop collaborative partnership between AIs and humans. This systematic review examines empirical evidence of human-computer collaboration from 24 studies conducted in an AI-integrated language learning environment and…

We report findings from an eDelphi study that aimed to explore 16 expert panelists' perspectives regarding the key attributes of learning experience design (LXD) as it relates to the following: design, disciplines, methods, and theory. Findings suggest consensus was reached regarding LXD's focus on learner-centrism and incorporating human-centered…

Before interacting with real users, developers must be proficient in human--computer interaction (HCI) so as not to exhaust user patience and availability. For that, substantial training and practice are required, but it is costly to create a variety of high-quality HCI training materials. In this context, chat generative pretrained transformer…

As AI technologies become increasingly integrated into education, this research investigates how students react to AI-generated versus human feedback in teamwork skills assessment. In Study 1, 108 students completed a virtual teamwork simulation and received assessment feedback framed as either AI- or human-generated. Students showed a clear…

An educational customer relationship management (CRM) Chatbot is a learner support service automation tool that enhances the human computer interaction and user experience in higher education institutions through effective online conversation and information exchange. The machine with embedded knowledge is trained to identify the sentences and…

This article explores human-AI interaction with large language models or conversational agents in complex information tasks with a focus on prompt engineering strategies. The paper reviews the current literature on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for complex information tasks that are often nonlinear and entail interpretation,…

Since the advent of chatbots enabled by Generative AI such as ChatGPT, their application in the domain of education has been linked to promises of personalizing learning (PL). Through a study of conversational interactions of graduate students with such chatbots, this paper provides an empirical study of how current ChatGPT technologies can enable…

Interactional Competence (IC) is an important subcomponent of oral proficiency, but many computer-mediated oral English assessments fall short in assessing this construct mainly due to technological limitations. Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs) have shown promise in assessing L2 oral communication, yet further investigation is needed on their…
