Speech Topic: Trends and Research Designs of Artificial Intelligence in Education
Abstract: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has attracted the attention of researchers in the globe. However, it remains a challenging task for educational technology and computer science researchers to apply AI technologies to school settings, not to mention designing AIED (Artificial Intelligence in Education) studies. In this talk, Prof. Hwang is going to introduce the basic conceptions and applications of AI in educational settings; following that, potential research issues and research designs of AIED are presented. In addition, several examples are given to demonstrate how to publish AIED studies in quality journals.
