COL Webinar: How do students think and feel about ChatGPT in Cyprus?

Overview:

Over the past year or so, Generative AI has caught the education world by storm. In the context of rapid developments in Large Language Models (LLMs), such as #ChatGPT, the @COL4D Chair at the Open University of Cyprus @oucyprus, Professor Michalinos Zembylas and Dr Eleni Chistodoulou undertook a research study to bring students’ perspectives to the forefront. The study investigated how students think, feel about, and engage with the role of LLMs in higher education contexts in the future. This webinar will present the findings of this study, discuss ethical and pedagogical LLM use as well as recommendations for stakeholders, particularly in response to the identified student needs.

Presenters:

Michalinos Zembylas is a Professor of Educational Theory and Curriculum Studies at the Open University of Cyprus, an Honorary Professor at Nelson Mandela University, South Africa, an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Australia, and a Research Faculty at Lebanese American University. He holds a Commonwealth of Learning (COL) Chair for 2023-2026.

Dr. Eleni Christodoulou is a senior researcher at the Department of Educational Sciences at the Open University of Cyprus and an adjunct lecturer at the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Cyprus.
