Question 2

ai_learning_academy — 2025-08-11 19:51:41 UTC

Do you need additional support or funding?

Question 3

ai_learning_academy — 2025-08-11 19:51:41 UTC

Who are you going to reach out to accomplish this?

Question 4

ai_learning_academy — 2025-08-11 19:51:41 UTC

What are your next steps in your research plan?

Question 1

Research Question

sahn82 — 2025-10-09 19:01:42 UTC

How do AI-integrated activities/assignments in an undergraduate food science course influence student perceptions (of AI), learning performance, and what barriers exist for effective implementation?

Support Needs

sahn82 — 2025-10-09 19:02:47 UTC

Additional support for data analysis would be helpful (especially qualitative data). But this is not essential for moving forward at this state.

Collaboration

sahn82 — 2025-10-09 19:05:17 UTC

Members of this AI learning community (Anybody has expertise/experience in qualitative data analysis? Come talk to me!!), instructional designers I have been working with, and possibly colleagues in food science education for feedback and technical guidance. (Oh, and Jen Parker to discuss further about using her FLUF test for my AI assignments for students' critical review of AI-generated content)

RQ1

luismejia75 — 2025-10-09 19:05:44 UTC

How can the use of AI Chatbots move forward the creative stages of the design process? More specifically, persona development, client narrative, and client checklist.

Sopport or funding

luismejia75 — 2025-10-09 19:06:59 UTC

Who doesn't? I would like to get funding for dissemination (travel and publications). Also, having a TA or OPS would be great to help with the project.

Not yet

2025-10-09 19:07:22 UTC

Obviously having some analysis support or extra dollars for resources (or paying for my time) would be nice, but the project is have in mind is possible without extra support at the moment.

Plan for next steps

sahn82 — 2025-10-09 19:07:43 UTC

Finalizing the research design and method for qualitative data alaysis, refining my survey questions, and checking out funding opportunities (using UF Research Pivot). And I will check journals mentioned in today's session - but I guess it can wait until we have a session with a librarian in a few weeks! :)

Collaboration

luismejia75 — 2025-10-09 19:08:15 UTC

Similar to a previous response from Ahn, this community is an excellent place to start collaborating. These types of initiatives create a working community and contacts. Thanks.

What is next

luismejia75 — 2025-10-09 19:09:32 UTC

I would say: planning, research design, and implementation. I believe I already have the instruments that I will use for data collection.

Next Steps

Plunkettemily — 2025-10-09 21:21:21 UTC

My next steps are to refine my research question, think more about study design, and contact my colleague interested in collaborating on the project.

Support

Plunkettemily — 2025-10-09 21:32:32 UTC

I have spoken to a colleague I’ve published with before about joining the project, which would help as he has published work using the same theory.

The main support I need would be assistance in analysis, as I have not used NLP or sentiment analysis before. I have a friend at another institution who has, so I may ask him for advice.

Reaching out

Plunkettemily — 2025-10-09 21:53:06 UTC

I plan to reach out to my two colleagues mentioned in the previous post.

I would love to connect with anyone in this community who is experienced in NLP and sentiment analysis!

AI and Critical Pedagogy (T. Brown)

2025-10-13 17:32:11 UTC

How can educators integrate fundamental AI concepts and critical educational theories to design effective and ethical AI-enabled courses?

What principles guide educators in effectively applying AI technologies within pedagogically sound and ethically responsible course designs?

Not sure right now about funding - but looking into what become the focus for the FLC and the long term goals for the work, where funding might be ideal.

My small group from last weeks meeting is going to continue to brainstorm together to see what we might aim for collectively.
