Description
Multiple educators are examining and sharing ideas of how to incorporate recently developed AI chatbot tools into lecture and writing based classes. Our goal here is to explore how these AI chatbot tools can assist in teaching and learning outcomes in higher education laboratory classes in a STEM field. We are utilizing AI chatbot tools to help engage with students that are incorporating their own research projects in a STEM laboratory class. We are testing various approaches and will share the impact of these approaches in an upper-level experimental laboratory class at the University of Central Florida.
