The project involves computer science and education researchers from the UK (Birmingham City University, Nottingham Trent University) and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, Hanoi National University of Education, Vinh University, VNU University of Education) working with schools and teachers in Vietnam to develop pedagogical activities and resources to test the latest AI technologies.
The project applies three specialized tools: conversational AI, large language models and a multimodal affect recognition system to test with teachers and students. The project focuses on learning experiences in rural and urban areas in Vietnam with the aim of understanding the views of teachers and students from different gender groups from these schools on the use of AI in education. The results of this project will be developed into resources for educators and researchers; and provide information on the directions and recommendations for sustainable development of new technologies in education.
