Summary: This study investigated the impact of a custom-developed, artificial intelligence-based remote invigilation system on student user experience. The findings showed that familiarity with the system over time improved student attitudes towards remote invigilation. Positive experiences were related to ease of use and convenience, while perceived technical problems caused anxiety. Students believed that such systems were important for preventing cheating and suggested that clearer expectations regarding behavior, privacy, and data security would improve the system.

Summary: The study examines the application of academically productive talk (APT) in online teaching during the pandemic. It reveals that APT is used to a lesser extent in remote, online classes, and is associated with interactive instructional formats. Teachers with higher teaching self-efficacy, autonomous orientations, and empathy tend to promote APT more in online teaching. More APT is associated with greater teacher well-being and student motivation and engagement.

Summary: AI chatbots in higher education have sparked a debate on education practices worldwide. This study focuses on Generative AI and ChatGPT to examine their impact on university teachers' assessment practices and their perceptions of ChatGPT's performance in response to home examination prompts. Through Turing Test-inspired experiments and semi-structured interviews, it was found that there was a range of passing rates and suspicions for chatbot-generated texts, while teachers tended to be more critical when grading student-written texts. Drawing on post-phenomenology and mediation theory, the study discusses AI chatbots as potentially disruptive in higher education practices.
