7/15/2023

The most recent Ethan Mollick AI blog post includes a table comparing GenAI tools based on his opinion. This article could be useful as an opening discussion generator when teaching students about GenAI tools.

Action Research for Generative AI (e.g., Chatgpt & Bing) in Higher Education

Action Research Drivers for a university course with the introduction of generative AI tools

If you are interested in the effect of the adoption of generative AI tools such as ChatBPT and Bing into higher education, and if you are knowledgable about Action Research, would you provide your thoughts on the attached Driver diagram? This is a Action Research Driver diagram (similar to a research Logic Model)*.

I plan to conduct the research on the 300-level Project Management course I will teach this coming fall in Singapore for the University at Buffalo School of Management. This is 100% new course prep for me, so I can build the course around the introduction of generative AI tools into the learning goals, content, and assessments, and I can develop the course to follow an Action Research process. I also attached a table contrasting traditional research with Action Research for those not familiar with Action Research. This method is new to me. Advice from those who have conducted Action Research will be helpful.

* "Driver diagrams have some similarities to Logic Models in that they both provide a graphic representation of a theory of change that helps to guide programs and policies. However, driver diagrams work from an existing program and identify one specific goal or aim and generate a specific and focused change idea to implement. Logic models often start from a problem to be addressed and specify several outcomes—short and long term—and then build a program or policy to meet that outcome (Shakman, Bailey, and Breslow, 2017)."
