This study investigates how LLMs, specifically GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, can develop tailored questions for Grade 9 math, aligning with active learning principles. By utilizing an iterative method, these models adjust questions based on difficulty…

Making errors is part of the programming process -- even for the most seasoned professionals. Novices in particular are bound to make many errors while learning. It is well known that traditional (compiler/interpreter) programming error…

The release of ChatGPT in November 2022 prompted a massive uptake of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) across higher education institutions (HEIs). HEIs scrambled to respond to its use, especially by students, looking first to…

This study highlights the transparency and accuracy of GenAI's inductive thematic analysis, particularly using GPT-4 Turbo API integrated within a stepwise prompt-based Python script. This approach ensured a traceable and systematic coding…

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly used to support a wide range of human tasks, yet empirical evidence on its effect on creativity remains scattered. Can GenAI generate ideas that are creative? To what extent can it…

Background: Recently, ChatGPT and similar generative AI models have attracted hundreds of millions of users and become part of the public discourse. Many believe that such models will disrupt society and will result in a significant change…

How can we use generative AI to design tools that augment rather than replace human cognition? In this position paper, we review our own research on AI-assisted decision-making for lessons to learn. We observe that in both AI-assisted…

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT has intensified interest in their role in higher education, particularly in how students perceive and use them and how these perceptions may relate to…

Despite their unprecedented success, even the largest language models make mistakes. Similar to how humans learn and improve using feedback, previous work proposed providing language models with natural language feedback to guide them in…

Investigation of students' perceptions and opinions on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education is a topic gaining much interest. Studies addressing this are typically conducted with large heterogeneous groups, at…

Generative AI (GenAI) has rapidly entered education, yet its user experience is often explained through adoption-oriented constructs such as usefulness, ease of use, and engagement. We argue that these constructs are no longer sufficient…

With the rapid adoption of AI writing assistants in education, educators and researchers need empirical evidence to understand the impact on student writing and inform effective pedagogical design. Despite widespread use, we lack systematic…

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in higher education necessitates assessment reform. This study addresses a critical gap by exploring student and academic staff experiences with AI and…
