Quality control and assurance plays a fundamental role within higher education contexts. One means by which quality control can be performed is by mapping the course learning outcomes (CLOs) to the program learning outcomes (PLO). This paper describes a system by which this mapping process can be automated and validated. The proposed AI-based…

The landscape of generative AI in Education Doctorate (EdD) programs is multifaceted and rapidly evolving, demonstrating a significant impact on educational methodologies and student engagement. In the Molloy University EdD program, AI is leveraged extensively for a range of purposes, from assessment tools like Perusall to advanced platforms like…

Students will analyze article excerpts that demonstrate how the opioid crisis was fueled by a five-sentence "letter to the editor" that was uncritically cited as "evidence" that opioid addiction was rare. Indirectly this activity demonstrates why ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence platforms should never be…

B. F. Skinner's work in the field of verbal behaviour represented a movement of global significance. However, in today's age, even those who appreciate its profound importance in the archives of psychology accept that it did not sufficiently account for complex human language. Recent advances in psychological science have led to the emergence of a…

There is currently much interest in the role of prediction in language processing, both in L1 and L2. For language acquisition researchers, this has prompted debate on the role that predictive processing may play in both L1 and L2 language learning, if any. In this conceptual review, we explore the role of prediction and prediction error as a…

Situations of catastrophic social change, such as COVID-19, raise complex, interdisciplinary research questions that intersect health, education, economics, psychology, and social behavior and require mixed methods research. The pandemic has been a quickly evolving phenomenon, which pressures the time necessary to perform mixed methods research.…

In a span of about three days in the spring of 2023, the author's Instagram feed became inundated with mentions of artificial intelligence (AI), including Chat GPT, text-to-image models, and much more. She would turn on the radio and hear about the controversy surrounding AI, or look at her cousin's social media posts about the injustices of her…

Purpose: Phonological processing skills, or using phoneme knowledge to process language, in preschool- and kindergarten-age children are an important indicator of children's future reading abilities. However, assessing phonological processing skills can be difficult in children with speech sound disorders because scoring often requires that…

In the year since ChatGPT was released by OpenAI, librarians, instructors, and higher education administrators have grappled with generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for teaching, learning, research, and writing. Drawn from informal conversations, professional observations, discussion groups, and professional development…

This article explores the application of generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, in the development of customized textual materials for communication teaching. It underscores the potential of generative AI to address the scarcity of suitable learning materials and enhance teaching effectiveness. A case study of text generation…

Intelligent systems of essay grading constitute important tools for educational technologies. They can significantly replace the manual scoring efforts and provide instructional feedback as well. These systems typically include two main parts: a feature extractor and an automatic grading model. The latter is generally based on computational and…

Dyslexia is a learning disability that significantly hinders students' abilities to read and comprehend educational materials, posing a substantial challenge within educational environments. This paper introduces an innovative educational system, ReadSmart, that integrates both Augmented Reality (AR) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)…

Artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) is a fast-growing field of research. In previous work, we described efforts to explore the possible futures of AIEd by identifying key variables and their future prospects. This paper re-examines our discussions on the governance of data and the role of students and teachers by considering the…

Schools (and some librarians) relegated librarians to the "business of books" and disregarded them of proven technological expertise. Fortunately, school librarians have either continued to insert themselves into digital technologies or emerged from the stacks to reclaim their role as digital resource experts in their schools. So, how do…

Historians sometimes view teaching and community engagement as peripheral to research. Self-reflection on the design of assignments, pedagogy techniques, and students' work aids teachers as they refine their teaching, and it can also inform research questions and methods. Teaching, research, and community engagement do not have to be separate…
