Redefining “Lgbtq+ Interculture” In Academia, Samantha Winterberg, Michelle Mccraney

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

Members of the LGBTQ+ community often face discrimination, harassment, and exclusion in academic settings, which can negatively impact their academic and personal success. Studies have shown that LGBTQ+ students are more likely to experience negative mental health conditions, drop out of school, and struggle to find employment after graduation. Cultural humility fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is critical to ensuring an equitable educational experience for all students, particularly those from marginalized communities. Intercultural understanding is essential to develop cultural humility so that attitudes reflect empathy and tolerance of differences, including sexual or gender orientation variances or ambiguity. Understanding how …

The Unstoppable Rise Of Ai: An Interview With Dr. John Sanford, Spencer Burrows, And Anna Birchler, Brandon Powell, Spencer Burrows

International Journal of Emerging and Disruptive Innovation in Education : VISIONARIUM

AI can both help and hurt the education field (higher education and secondary education). Despite Hollywood’s depiction of artificial intelligence solely in the form of killer death robots decades into the future, AI is much more versatile - and far more dangerous - than any killer robot could be. As artificial intelligence develops at a breakneck pace, its effect on our society will increase exponentially.

Using Video Games To Jumpstart Student-Centered Research And Inquiry In The General Education Humanities Classroom, Melissa Ridley Elmes

International Journal of Emerging and Disruptive Innovation in Education : VISIONARIUM

This article discusses preliminary results of a study of the author’s use of gaming to facilitate research-based writing assignments in her classes, focusing specifically on a 200-level general education introductory literature course, The Medieval World, taught in Spring 2023 at a U.S. midwestern private university. The purpose of the study was to determine whether approaching topic selection for the research-based writing assignment in a general education literature course through gaming could result in more student buy-in and thus, greater student retention, better student work, and a more successful learning experience and outcome for such an assignment than does a traditional …

Rebranding Originality For The Age Of Ai, Jason Gulya

International Journal of Emerging and Disruptive Innovation in Education : VISIONARIUM

"Originality" has been a longstanding focal point within the college classroom, with students being encouraged to embrace creativity and boldness. The traditional view of originality, relying solely on one's wit and imagination, has lost its effectiveness in the present era. The concept of learning has undergone a significant transformation, no longer resembling the isolated ivory tower of the past where individuals would immerse themselves in books, hoping to be inspired. Instead, modern learning has become more social and collaborative. Students compare and contrast class material with online resources, engaging in conversations, both in person and virtually, to solidify their understanding. …

An Investigation Of The Advantages And Disadvantages Of University Students As Avatars In Virtual Learning Spaces, Gary Burnett, Catherine Harvey

International Journal of Emerging and Disruptive Innovation in Education : VISIONARIUM

Authors have noted the increasing importance of avatars in Higher Education, as more teaching is conducted virtually, drawing upon gaming conventions. However, it is also recognised that little is known about how students make use of avatars (especially over an extended period) and the subsequent impact on learning experiences. For the last three years, a university module has been conducted within a persistent virtual world – where students (49 in 2020; 95 in 2021; 122 in 2022) predominantly interact with each other and teaching staff in avatar form. Observation data constitutes 60 hours of video recordings of virtual world seminars. …

A Note On The Combination Of The New Similarity Formula With Feedback To Better Handle Complaints Of In Vitro Fertilization (Ivf) Patients, Irwan Sembiring, Paminto Agung Christianto, Eko Sediyono

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) patients frequently experience anxiety and report it right away to their fertility doctors. But because the fertility specialists took their time to respond, IVF patients eventually became more anxious. The research's findings demonstrated that using the standard feasibility value of 80% along with the Chris Case-Based Reasoning (CCBR) similarity formula led to an accurate system recommendation (100%) with a higher precision value (83.15%). The F value of the ANOVA test was 9.902 with a significance level of 0.007

Exploring Ocr Errors In Full-Text Large Documents: A Study Of Lis Theses And Dissertations, Manika Lamba, Margam Madhusudhan

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The accuracy of OCR output for text mining and NLP analyses of large text documents can be impacted by errors that occur during the OCR process. The methodology involves retrieving electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) for LIS discipline from the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global database and manually reviewing the full-text ETDs for OCR problems associated with the conversion of PDF files into plain text format. The study examines the factors that impact the quality of OCR output, including the quality of the original document. The findings show that five major types of scanning problems in PDFs were identified that …

Log Exploration And Analytics Using Large Language Models, Hari Bhaskar S

Defensive Publications Series

Log data are typically stored in databases as schema-based entries in a structured format. Conventionally, log exploration requires an understanding of the fields, schema, and query parameters of the database. This disclosure describes techniques that use tabular large language models (LLMs) to process, mine, and make log data amenable to natural language queries. A relatively unsophisticated user with no database skills can query log files using natural language search. The LLMs can be fine-tuned using prompt engineering and causation information. The conventional, tedious mining of logs across multiple systems using database queries is replaced by a simple natural language interface …

Determining User Journey Risk Trajectories In Information Seeking Sessions, Abhishek Roy, Ellie Jin, Rebecca Umbach

Defensive Publications Series
