Exploring Technologies to Advance Massive Open Online Courses with Artificial Intelligence in Education

This project is the first study to establish a laboratory on Metaverse and Human-Computer Interaction to promote artificial intelligence (AI) innovations in education. This project explores recent theoretical AI models and technologies (speech, vision, digital human, etc.) for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It investigates the educational value of cutting-edge AI technologies on the way students learn and how teachers teach and develop new educational content and paradigms on a MOOC platform. Recent AI advancements and the increasing speed of adopting MOOCs in higher teacher education are explored to predict the future nature of higher teacher education. We pinpoint some challenges and opportunities for institutions of higher teacher education and student learning in adopting these technologies for teaching and learning and exploring further directions for research.
