Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, especially language models like ChatGPT, are revolutionizing academic writing by generating human-like text and supporting thesis development. While some research explores ChatGPT in academic writing, none compares the experiences of young researchers using AI for the first time versus non-users in their…

This study offers a critical examination of university policies developed to address recent challenges presented by generative AI (GenAI) to higher education assessment. Drawing on Bacchi's 'What's the problem represented to be' (WPR) framework, we analysed the GenAI policies of 20 world-leading universities to explore what are considered problems…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents a significant technological leap, with platforms like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Baidu's Ernie Bot at the forefront of innovation. This technology has seen widespread adoption across various sectors of society and is anticipated to revolutionise the educational landscape, especially in the…

The emergence of ChatGPT, an OpenAI chatbot, has revolutionised our education system to a new phase. It is an innovative approach to future learning, including in the English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. Since its inception, ChatGPT has been remarkably used by most educators and learners. Nevertheless, its application in the flipped…

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence application, has emerged as a promising educational tool with a wide range of applications, attracting the attention of researchers and educators. This qualitative case study, chosen for its ability to provide an in-depth exploration of the nuanced effects of AI on the foreign language learning process within…

Multiple-choice quizzes (MCQs) are a popular form of assessment. A rapid shift to online assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, drove the uptake of MCQs, yet limited invigilation and wide access to material on the internet allow students to solve the questions via internet search. ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) agent trained on…

Purpose: This qualitative work aims to explore the university students' attitude toward advantages, drawbacks and prospects of ChatGPT. Design/methodology/approach: This paper applies well accepted Colaizzi's phenomenological descriptive method of enquiry and content analysis method to reveal the ChatGPT user experience of students in the higher…

The continuous development of artificial intelligence-based tools makes their emergence inevitable in education as well as other fields of life. This article presents findings of a mixed method study aimed at investigating the current perceptions and potential applications of AI in Hungarian educational settings. Through interviews with high…

As generative AI (GenAI) policies in higher education in Thailand have been introduced, inquiries regarding GenAI integration and adoption in teaching and learning have been raised. Delving into a relatively unexplored interdisciplinary area in this context, this study aimed to investigate students' responses towards the use of GenAI in academic…

Despite best efforts, the student experience remains poorly understood. One under-explored approach to understanding the student experience is the use of big data analytics. The reported study is a work in progress aimed at exploring the value of big data methods for understanding the student experience. A big data analysis of an open dataset of…

Thanks to the continuous development of artificial intelligence (AI), more and more tools are available to help students to practice their language skills. Nowadays, there are various ways of using AI-driven technology in the process of language learning, one example is the use of chatbots. This pilot study aims to investigate the impact of the…

This article, drawing on essays written by students with the assistance of ChatGPT and interviews with some students who used this learning machine, highlights a shift in the educational landscape brought about by this technology. In broader terms, Palestinian universities follow the traditional methods of teaching based on memorization and rote…

Software is an integral part of our lives. It controls the cars we drive every day, the ships we send into space, and even our toasters. It is everywhere and we can easily download more. Software solves many real-world problems and satisfies many needs. Thus, unsurprisingly, there is a rising demand for software engineers to maintain existing…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
