The popularity and promise of mixed reality (MR) technologies, such as virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality, have advanced many applications focusing on training and skill development. If successfully deployed, these technologies could prove extremely valuable for high-impact professional training … Continued
This paper assesses the potential for the large language models (LLMs) GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 to aid in deriving insight from education feedback surveys. Exploration of LLM use cases in education has focused on teaching and learning, with less exploration of … Continued
As conversational agents powered by large language models become more human-like, users are starting to view them as companions rather than mere assistants. Our study explores how changes to a person’s mental model of an AI system affects their interaction … Continued
To effectively communicate and collaborate with others, we must monitor not only other people’s cognitive states (e.g., what someone thinks or believes), but also their metacognitive states (e.g., how confident they are in their beliefs). Confidence is however rarely communicated … Continued
Heightened AI expectations facilitate performance in human-AI interactions through placebo effects. While lowering expectations to control for placebo effects is advisable, overly negative expectations could induce nocebo effects. In a letter discrimination task, we informed participants that an AI would … Continued
Understanding how children design and what they value in AI interfaces that allow them to explicitly train their models such as teachable machines, could help increase such activities’ impact and guide the design of future technologies. In a co-design session … Continued
The significance of interdisciplinary learning has been well recognized in higher education institutions. However, when teaching interdisciplinary learning to junior undergraduate students, their limited disciplinary knowledge can hinder their learning performance. The extensive information of ChatGPT and its ability to … Continued
Gamification is a technological, economic, cultural, and societal development toward promoting a more game-like reality. As this emergent phenomenon has been gradually consolidated into our daily lives, especially in educational settings, many scholars and practitioners face a major challenge ahead: … Continued
The rise of powerful large language models (LLMs) brings about tremendous opportunities for innovation but also looming risks for individuals and society at large. We have reached a pivotal moment for ensuring that LLMs and LLM-infused applications are developed and … Continued
We explore human herding in a strategic setting where humans interact with automated entities (bots) and study the shift in the behavior and beliefs of humans when they are aware of interacting with bots. The strategic setting is an online … Continued
