Xi Lin – Adult Learning, 2024
This study explores the potential of ChatGPT as a virtual tutor to facilitate self-directed learning (SDL) among adult learners in asynchronous online contexts. Although SDL has been identified as a critical skill, factors such as the lack of skills to find resources and the absence of a supportive learning environment could impede adult learners'…

Sheri Conklin; Tom Dorgan; Daisyane Barreto – Discover Education, 2024
We investigated the utility of ChatGPT 3.5 in the creation of a fully online asynchronous higher education course. Our collaborative effort with ChatGPT resulted in developing a Master's level course on Trends and Issues in Instructional Design using the Backward Design Model. Throughout this process, we recognized the critical role of precise…

Hernández-Lara, Ana Beatriz; Perera-Lluna, Alexandre; Serradell-López, Enric – Education & Training, 2021
Purpose: With the growth of digital education, students increasingly interact in a variety of ways. The potential effects of these interactions on their learning process are not fully understood and the outcomes may depend on the tool used. This study explores the communication patterns and learning effectiveness developed by students using two…

Lee, Jeonghyun; Soleimani, Farahnaz; Irish, India; Hosmer, John, IV; Soylu, Meryem Yilmaz; Finkelberg, Roy; Chatterjee, Saurabh – Online Learning, 2022
In this study, we work towards a strategy to measure and enhance the quality of interactions in discussion forums at scale. We present a machine learning (ML) model which identifies the phase of cognitive presence exhibited by a student's post and suggest future applications of such a model to help online students develop higher-order thinking. We…

Bosch, Nigel; Crues, R. Wes; Shaik, Najmuddin; Paquette, Luc – Grantee Submission, 2020
Online courses often include discussion forums, which provide a rich source of data to better understand and improve students' learning experiences. However, forum messages frequently contain private information that prevents researchers from analyzing these data. We present a method for discovering and redacting private information including…

Wen, Dunwei; Cuzzola, John; Brown, Lorna; Kinshuk – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2012
Question answering systems have frequently been explored for educational use. However, their value was somewhat limited due to the quality of the answers returned to the student. Recent question answering (QA) research has started to incorporate deep natural language processing (NLP) in order to improve these answers. However, current NLP…
