Exploring the Impact of ChatGPT on Student Interactions in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning

The growing popularity of generative AI, particularly ChatGPT, has sparked both enthusiasm and caution among practitioners and researchers in education. To effectively harness the full potential of ChatGPT in educational contexts, it is crucial to analyze its impact and suitability for different educational purposes. This paper takes an initial step in exploring the applicability of ChatGPT in a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment. Using statistical analysis, we validate the shifts in student interactions during an asynchronous group brainstorming session by introducing ChatGPT as an instantaneous question-answering agent.

Suggesting Relevant Questions for a Query Using Statistical Natural Language Processing Technique

Suggesting similar questions for a user query has many applications ranging from reducing search time of users on e-commerce websites, training of employees in companies to holistic learning for students. The use of Natural Language Processing techniques for suggesting similar questions is prevalent over the existing architecture. Mainly two approaches are studied for finding text similarity namely syntactic and semantic, however each has its draw-backs and fail to provide the desired outcome. In this article, a self-learning combined approach is proposed for determining textual similarity that introduces a robust weighted syntactic and semantic similarity index for determining similar questions from a predetermined database, this approach learns the optimal combination of the mentioned approaches for a database under consideration. Comprehensive analysis has been carried out to justify the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed approach over the existing literature.
