This Praxis develops a machine learning (ML) model to address ransomware threats in higher education institutions (HEIs). HEIs are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to their open-access environments, diverse user bases, and decentralized IT systems. These vulnerabilities are compounded by limited budgets, heightened risks from increased digital…

The objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of integrating natural language processing (NLP) technologies into an English language learning program aimed at enhancing auditory and speaking competencies. The methodology of the research is grounded in the development and testing of the intervention effectiveness of neural…

The growing number of students in higher education institutions, along with students' diverse educational backgrounds, is driving demand for more individual study support. Furthermore, online lectures increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic and are expected to continue, further accelerating the need for self-regulated learning. Individual digital…

Conversational user interfaces (CUI), including voice interfaces, which allow users to converse with computers via voice, are gaining wide popularity. VoiceBots allow users to receive a response in real-time, regardless of the communication device. VoiceBots have been explored in fields such as customer service to automate repetitive queries and…

As the debate and discussions are rapidly growing about the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education institutions (HEIs) as well as in other sectors, we have gone through a systematic review and research of the topics and progress of AI at the present time. We have surveyed much literature and prepared a research review…

Purpose: The notion of using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) engine for text composition has gained excessive popularity among students, educators and researchers, following the introduction of ChatGPT. However, this has added another dimension to the daunting task of verifying originality in academic writing. Consequently, the market…

This study explores the capability of academic staff assisted by the Turnitin Artificial Intelligence (AI) detection tool to identify the use of AI-generated content in university assessments. 22 different experimental submissions were produced using Open AI's ChatGPT tool, with prompting techniques used to reduce the likelihood of AI detectors…

Aim/Purpose: This paper is part of a multi-case study that aims to test whether generative AI makes an effective coding assistant. Particularly, this work evaluates the ability of two AI chatbots (ChatGPT and Bing Chat) to generate concise computer code, considers ethical issues related to generative AI, and offers suggestions for how to improve…

Courses: This activity can be used in writing-based (communication) courses across various disciplines including, but not limited to, introduction to writing and rhetoric, business communication, and communication research methods. Objectives: On completion of this activity, students will develop critical reading, thinking, and writing skills as…

Purpose: Given the increasing attention on ChatGPT in academia due to its advanced features and capabilities, this study aims to examine the links among Artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge sharing, ethics, academia and libraries in educational institutions. Moreover, this study also aims to provide a literature base while discussing recent…

Artificial intelligence in higher education is becoming more prevalent as it promises improvements and acceleration of administrative processes concerning student support, aiming for increasing student success and graduation rates. For instance, Academic Performance Prediction (APP) provides individual feedback and serves as the foundation for…

The rise of AI generated texts offers promise but creates new challenges for social work teaching. A recent survey found that 89% of higher education students used AI on their homework. AI generated text may be difficult to distinguish from a student's own work, yet are being submitted as the student's own work. This poses new challenges to…

The development and introduction of AI language models have transformed the way humans and institutions interact with technology, enabling natural and intuitive communication between humans and machines. This paper conducts a competence-based analysis of ChatGPT's task responses to provide insights into its language proficiency, critical analysis…

Background: Artificial Intelligence has become an invaluable tool in academia, offering instant feedback, personalized learning experiences, and support for various academic tasks. This study investigates the impact of ChatGPT, an AI-driven language model, on developing critical thinking, evaluation, and independent judgment skills among higher…

This qualitative study examines the risks educators in Jordan face with the integration of ChatGPT, an emerging AI technology, into academic settings. While considerable attention has been given to risks affecting university students, there remains a gap in understanding the specific challenges encountered by educators themselves. Through…
