This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots within higher education, focusing on the early feedback from STEM faculty members in Lebanon, particularly in the context of their widespread use among students. As AI intersects with traditional scientific inquiry, its incorporation into educational frameworks introduces…

The integration of web-based discussion tools in education has expanded rapidly, yet their pedagogical use remains largely unstructured, often resulting in fragmented discussions and limited learners' engagement. This gap reflects the absence of empirically grounded instructional models that align digital discourse with principles of collaborative…

This study examines the impact of feedback assisted by generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on the dynamics and outcomes of online inquiry-based discussions (IBDs) in a higher education context. Specifically, it compares two distinct feedback types powered by GAI: idea-oriented and task-oriented. The study involved 105 preservice teachers from…
