Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Empirical Studies on AI Acceptance by Students at (Saxon) Universities

New publication of the project tech4comp:

The extent to which AI can effectively accompany new types of university teaching and learning is being investigated in the BMBF joint project 'tech4comp: Personalised competence development through scalable mentoring processes'. Together, they are researching socio-technical artefacts for personalised digitally-supported mentoring for students. For this purpose, framework conditions and (social) contextual factors, among others, are being researched in order to support the implementation of AI in higher education. It is assumed that regardless of the type of technology and the pandemic context, the acceptance and willingness of the stakeholders involved in particular contributes to the successful use of intelligent educational technologies. Under the direction of Dr. Cathleen M. Stützer, the ZQA/KfBH at TU Dresden is dedicated to the elaboration of fields of action resulting from socio-technical research on AI in higher education. Case studies on this topic address questions such as the conditions for success and the effectiveness of digital higher education in order to (prospectively) support the successful implementation of AI-supported adaptive mentoring systems with evident research reports.
