Much of the literature on artificial intelligence (AI) in education imagines AI as a tool in the service of teaching and learning. Is such a one-way relationship all that exists between AI and learners? In this paper we report on a thematic analysis of 92 participant responses to a story completion exercise which asked them to describe a classroom…

The following is offered as only one Indigenous person's perspective--a Yuchi Muscogee tribal member's perspective. Several questions about AI emerge when we consider it through an (not the) Indigenous lens. Where is AI's heart and where is its spirit? Does this complex, fast source of intelligence have feelings or emotions? Does machine-generated…

The human face is commonly used for identity verification. While this task was once exclusively performed by humans, technological advancements have seen automated facial recognition systems (AFRS) integrated into many identification scenarios. Although many state-of-the-art AFRS are exceptionally accurate, they often require human oversight or…

Digital systems are pervasive in modern societies -- augmenting personal and commercial driving, detecting cancer, and exploiting transitory events in financial markets. Attacks on these systems are growing in number, sophistication, and impact. Current cyber defenses are proving inadequate against some of these attacks. Cyber defense tools that…

This comment builds on the example of chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) to discuss the implications of generative AI on industry and higher education, underlining the need for more transdisciplinary digital literacy education. The release of ChatGPT has generated significant academic and professional interest and instigated a…

The application of information technology in the classroom is not a new thing. There have been many studies on the impact of information technology on teachers' teaching and students' learning. However, few studies focus on how information technology affects classroom interaction and instructional proxemics. In this study, 43 exemplary lessons…

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,…

Students today are habitual users of digital technology. However, they do not examine the nature of their relationship with technology. Even though we are all enduring severe environmental crises including the COVID-19 pandemic, our students do not appear to see the interrelated connections between the environmental crisis and themselves. A case…

My dissertation focuses on coordination around personal data and human-data interaction in a high-stakes, high-performance environment: college sports. In the last decade, wearable tracking technologies--e.g., FitBit, Garmin, Catapult, Whoop, Oura Ring--have introduced new data streams, such as heart rate and sleep measurement, which college…

Despite the numerous support systems, academic performances in many South African higher institutions continue to experience challenges while some are declining in throughputs. Some of the support mechanisms seem to be black boxed, notwithstanding the deteriorating situation. Thus, there is "prima facie" evidence that the factors that…

This research investigated 1,552 university students to explore the correlation between their learning effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) technology application and its influencing factors. The aim is to provide a reference for school planning and application of AI in information and communications technology (ICT) teaching. The results…

Background: In this paper, we extend theories of group cognition and regulation to examine how regulation occurs as part of a learning ecosystem. We examine our instructional approach, Embedded Design, that uses Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) as a conduit for students to make sense of their sociotechnical world and the ways people design…

The application of the metaverse provides a new perspective for educational innovation and talent training in the new century. By creating multi-channel perceptions such as sight, hearing, and touch through the VR/AR/MR immersive environment, the study found that learners' emotional engagement and cognitive level can be effectively improved in the…

Computer use has become a fact of life, especially for children, many of whom were forced to switch to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and resorted to digital hobbies as a safety measure. Further the amount of time children spend on computers, as well as the number of different computer devices that pervade our post-pandemic society…

This paper investigates the role of English in voice assistant (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant) use from the perspective of language ideology. Major commercial companies in the voice assistant market use English as a training language for their speech technologies and offer the most optimised support for standardised varieties of English. This…
