Bringing Automated Feedback into the Classroom: Exploring the Potential of (Generative) AI
When: Tuesday, April 9, 2024, 1:00 pm -2:00 pm EST
370 Jay St, 540
Writing is a crucial communicative skill in a knowledge-based society. However, providing individual feedback to each student can be challenging for teachers during regular classroom learning. Technology and artificial intelligence offer new potential to address this problem and could help increase personalized learning opportunities. In this talk, I will present empirical results on the effectiveness of (generative) AI in providing feedback to students to improve their writing. I will also discuss the potential and challenges of implementing (AI) feedback systems in the classroom, identifying critical areas of future research.
