GenAI in the hands of experts: A qualitative study of academics' experiences and future recommendations

Conference paper

Malik, M., Nortcliffe, A., Turner, S., Abdel-Maguid, M. and Shah, Rehan 2024. GenAI in the hands of experts: A qualitative study of academics' experiences and future recommendations .


Creating robust multiple-choice questions can be perceived as a challenging task by academic staff. The design process can also be time consuming and rely on the knowledge and experience of staff. Many engineering educators make use of these questions for formative and summative assessments. These questions can be a great way to provide formative feedback to students and diagnose what teaching interventions may be needed for different students based on their performance on the questions. This work-in-progress paper describes some initial results from a study whereby augmenting the skills educators bring with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT was trialled. A short one-to-one workshop was delivered to individual participants from various Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This paper also shares the GenAI-mind-bending iterative and sequential prompting technique used to co-produce outputs. Pre- and post- workshop surveys with open text questions and interviews are being used to capture staff perceptions of using these tools in creation of the questions. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and ethical considerations, particularly concerning copyright issues

Earthquakes in a month (now with code)

Earthquake Start of a project to bring in information from a website with an Application Programming Interface (API). We are going to use a modified version of "Project: Fetching Current Weather Data" from "Automate the boring stuff with Python" by Al Sweigart Instead of weather data were are collecting a month's worth of earthquake data.  What is going on below? We import libraries to deal with json, request from the server and the pandas library. [1]: ​ import json , requests import pandas as pd from pandas import json_normalize In this section we creating a string made up of the URL. Requesting the information from the site with the URL we created and pass back the information. Data comes from the US Geological survey  https://www.usgs.gov/about/about-us/who-we-are  and one of their earthquake feeds. Requesting the information from the site with the URL we created and pass back the information. Then print out what was returned. [2]: ​ url = 'https:...

  Design and Implement A Hybrid WebRTC Signalling Mechanism for Unidirectional & Bi-directional Video Conferencing International Journal of Computer Science & Network Security Volume 24 Issue 9   /   Pages.186-194   /   2024   /   1738-7906(pISSN) doi:  10.22937/IJCSNS.2024.24.9.21 International Journal of Computer Science & Network Security (국제컴퓨터통신보호논문지학회) WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that enables browser-to-browser communication. Therefore, a signalling mechanism must be negotiated to create a connection between peers. The main aim of this paper is to create and implement a WebRTC hybrid signalling mechanism named (WebNSM) for video conferencing based on the Socket.io (API) mechanism. WebNSM was designed over different topologies such as simplex, star and mesh. Therefore it offers several communications at the same time such as one-to-one (unidirectional/bidirectional), one-to-many (unidirectional) and many-t...
