AI as a Partner in Learning: A Novel Student-in-the-Loop Framework for Enhanced Student Engagement and Outcomes in Higher Education

Abstract

Education has a much to gain from the rapid development in recent years of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP). However, there is a lack of data showing that incorporating these technologies into classrooms improves students’ learning outcomes and motivation to learn. Moreover, to harness the full potential of AI in higher education (HE), it is essential to address the challenges and opportunities that this technology present for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in teaching and learning. This research project aims to explore the potentials of AI in HE settings for benefiting the future workforce by integrating NLP and AI technologies (e.g., genetic algorithm, ML) with educational and learning theories into AI-enabled education systems, which provide personalized, real-time support to college students. This AI agent will comprehend student inquiries through NLP, responding accurately, assessing students’ understanding levels, and providing tailored advice. It will be trained to evaluate the real-world consequences of AI applications in HE for Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s (SIUC’s) Desire-to-Learn(D2L) programs.
