Bot-teachers in hybrid massive open online courses (MOOCs): A post-humanist experience (open access)

Bot-teachers in hybrid massive open online courses (MOOCs): A post-humanist experience

This article explores networked learning technologies and the development of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs). The study examines and explains hybrid MOOCs and focuses on the use of bot-teachers within a post-humanist perspective. The research findings reveal that, while the use of bot-teachers is beneficial in terms of facilitating and increasing discourse/interaction, it is ineffective in providing other components of teaching presence. Yet ultimately, learners' positive behaviors indicate that bot-teachers hold promise as an educational tool.

Collaborative Research: Engaging High Schoolers in Integrated Computer Science and Engineering Through Hands-On Experiences with Microelectronics and Artificial Intelligence

Data management plan for the grant, "Collaborative Research: Engaging High Schoolers in Integrated Computer Science and Engineering Through Hands-On Experiences with Microelectronics and Artificial Intelligence." This three-year DRK-12 project aims to expand access to microelectronics and AI education in diverse high schools across Florida, Kansas, and Texas. Using altruistic engineering design and Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML), students from under-resourced communities will learn to design and apply smart, embedded technologies. TinyML allows low-cost AI applications on microcontrollers, offering an accessible entry to machine learning and hardware integration. Through real-world problem-solving projects, such as air quality monitoring, students will develop full-stack skills and gain insights into responsible, ethical AI, preparing them for future STEM careers.

Distributed Learning for Undergraduate Programs in Data Science at Diverse Universities

Data management plan for the grant, "Distributed Learning for Undergraduate Programs in Data Science at Diverse Universities." Here, we propose to expand on our previous NSF-supported work in developing a suite of courses in data science (DS) that were taught across a network of 4 undergraduate institutions in a distributed learning (DL) format. The current proposal seeks to expand the size and diversity of our network while adapting the advanced distributed learning (ADL) technology of the U.S. military to an academic setting to harness the power of AI in tailoring optimal learning experiences for individual students.
