Project 8: AI and Teaching Materials

AI and Teaching Materials

This project aims to explore students’ perceptions of teachers’ usage of generative AI (GAI) assisted teaching materials. Teaching materials created with the assistance of GAI have the potential to increase teacher efficiency and create value for students. Whilst the effectiveness of AI-assisted teaching materials has been demonstrated, there is a need for studies which examine students’ perceptions and acceptance of AI-assisted teaching materials. Students who have a positive perception of their learning environment, including teaching materials, are more likely to take a deeper approach to learning.
The project’s implications are two-fold. First, on the scientific front, we expect to enrich the literatures on student engagement, as well as on student perceptions of GAI usage in HE classroom environments. Second, on the industry front, we expect to aid companies developing AI tools for educational purposes to better understand students’ needs and perceptions of visual teaching materials, which would enable them to redesign and/ or readapt their software so that it can reflect the current needs of both students and teaching instructors.
