Week 8 - Dissertation Proposal Prep

This week I focused on finding information and articles that were aligned with my Quals Committee question and annotating them.  I found some great options that were cited in the articles I pulled last week so I started there.  

BAİDOO-ANU, D., & OWUSU ANSAH, L. (2023). Education in the era of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI): Understanding the potential benefits of CHATGPT in promoting teaching and learning. Journal of AI, 7(1), 52–62. https://doi.org/10.61969/jai.1337500

Kohnke, L., Moorhouse, B. L., & Zou, D. (2023). Chatgpt for language teaching and learning. RELC Journal, 54(2), 537–550. https://doi.org/10.1177/00336882231162868

Karaishi - Teaching English in the age of AI: Embacing ChatGPT to optimize EFL materials

        Seeing the progressive inputs and outputs here was fascinating.  I hadn't appreciated previously how deep the memory was here and how ChatGPT could refine it's own response over and over and over.  This article also shared some challenges with AI use and focused on how it can be beneficial to educators as long as the programming inputs supported the same information that the user requested.

Bring on the CSS! And Assessment

  Bring on the CSS! Okay, that’s much more confident than I feel, though I am not impressed with my basic and boring webpage so far, so I’m excited to add some color and style, though I still can’t “see” how this will pan out in the end. I’m looking forward to exploring templates because that will surely help me to see the final project a bit more clearly.   On another note, assessment is hard. Bloom and I spent some time together today, discussing his taxonomy. Well, really I did the talking (and griping and complaining about how my great ideas were NOT higher order) and he just kept sending me the same pyramid that’s been around for years. That guy is consistent if nothing else.   I know WHAT I want people to get from my course, but having them prove it is hard – it's been a minute since I’ve worked on the alignment piece and it’s SO important, but also doesn’t always end where I think it will. Great activities mean nothing if learners don’t do more than regur...

Week 8 - Learner Centered Instruction - Not just for Distance Learning

 Over the past few years, all students in the US and throughout most of the world have had experience learning in a virtual environment they were unfamiliar with previously.  Though this was new to most K12 students, this wasn't a new concept, and distance learning has been around for years, first with mail order options for learners, and now with Zoom and other virtual environments.   In 1995, Wagner and McCombs wrote a paper, "Learner Centered Psychological Principles in Practice: Designs for Distance Education," encouraging ALL instructors to use the tools that many distance learning instructors used to increase student engagement in their courses.  They noted that it was common belief that learner-centered instruction was necessary for distance education and that the tools and best practices related to it were used primarily in that arena.   Many of the learning principles noted in this article stood the test of time and become essential during the...

AI Personal Devices

 Several of the articles I have found surround personal device use in AI, such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa.  Today, I'm going to dig further into this to see if I want to shift to this area of thinking and focus, or learn more toward generative AI such as ChatGPT which was formerly my plan.  Chen, Y., Jensen, S., Albert, L. J., Gupta, S., & Lee, T. (2023). Artificial intelligence (AI) student assistants in the classroom: Designing chatbots to support student success. Information Systems Frontiers , 25 (1), 161-182.   Dousay, T. A., & Hall, C. (2018, June). Alexa, tell me about using a virtual assistant in the classroom. In EdMedia+ innovate learning (pp. 1413-1419). Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE).   Van Brummelen, J., Tabunshchyk, V., & Heng, T.
