Empowering the Graduate Scholar: Practical Applications of ChatGPT in Academic Research and Learning

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

In an era where data is the new oil, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and conversational agents like ChatGPT are revolutionizing the way we approach education, particularly at the graduate level. This seismic shift is not merely a technological advancement but a pedagogical transformation that redefines the boundaries of learning, mentorship, and academic inquiry. This fireside session aims to serve as a crucible for exploring the multitude of applications and ethical dimensions of AI in graduate education. The session will commence with a brief of the theoretical frameworks that underpin the integration of AI in educational settings, such as the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and the Community of Inquiry model.
