, prebuilt virtual labs and quizzes asthe most common methods of content delivery [2],[3] 1. All of these, unless specificallyprescribed, don’t encourage the remote learner to connect with or collaborate with other students.When communication is a required component of a course, it often consists of shallow, teacher-mandated standards of communication with little student benefit other than attempting to helpstudents connect or provide unmotivated peer review, which doesn’t often lead to genuinediscussion. When learning is checked through standardized quizzing and lists, there is also a highrisk of cheating, where students can share answers or find them online during a testing session,which further reduces the authenticity of the learning and

Engineering & Design department at WWU has spent considerableeffort focused on supporting students with the goal of improving student sense of belonging andcreating inclusive and equitable learning environments. Efforts have included updating the firstyear curriculum to incorporate social justice [6], starting a peer mentor program focused onstudent engagement and belonging [7] [8] [9], integrating inclusive practices into thedepartmental makerspace [10] [11], creating a summer bridge program for engineering students[12], hosting events designed to increase belonging and engagement [8] [13], conductingresearch on impacts of curricular and co-curricular changes on belonging and identity [14] [15][16], and offering undergraduate research

His current research centers on identifying mental and emotional states generated through human interaction with virtual reality and other virtual artifacts by analyzing physiological data and applying that research to create more effective virtual learning environments. Leveraging this work, he is currently creating a per- sistent and interactive virtual environment for hosting remote learning classes in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering at UC Irvine. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Assessment of Student Engagement in Virtual Reality Clinical Immersion Environments

potential forusing ChatGPT to supplement the current computer science education [3, 5, 6, 9, 13, and 15]. Atool like ChatGPT can help bridge the gap between students who lack the prerequisite experienceand knowledge, and the tool can become the study partner for the students that lack a peer groupto study with [8, 14]. Both students and teachers can make use of ChatGPT to increase theirunderstanding of the material, generate examples, debug code, and analyze code [3, 8, and 13].Our research group agrees with other experts that the positive value of using generative AI toolslike ChatGPT on education outweighs the negatives [13].Students and professors may be wondering how Generative AI will impact future jobopportunities. We can speculate that

Answer yes/no questions.3-3-2. Data annotationTo measure the impact of ChatGPT on student interactions in CSCL, two experts familiar withCST manually annotated each message according to CST. As used in previous CSCL research[29, 30], we consider the complete message posted by a student as the unit of analysis, defining itas a single student interaction during a brainstorming session. Each message was categorized withone of the main skills in CST, and the

visuallyimpaired, but these techniques are still in-progress and there is no complete or commercial optionfor effective accessibility. Similarly, there is no defined standard for communication of equations,graphics and low-accessibility legacy charts and graphs. Thus, universities currently working withthe visually impaired must develop their own teaching techniques. USC’s AME department began the process of creating accessible content for laboratoryinstruction well in advance of the semester. The goal of this project was to implement accessiblesolutions in the laboratory, which would allow visually impaired students to conduct the same labsas their sighted peers and retain the unique and necessary education that comes from hands-onlearning.b
