Smartphone Market Analysis
No full textFor the main research, an argument regarding market analysis was developed. A dataset was selected containing information on the smartphone industry, including meaningful variables such as brand, price range, RAM, and others. The objective is to predict the price of a smartphone based on significant variables. We performed exploratory data analysis, model diagnostics, and model selection using techniques we learned in our Statistics III course. Real-world data is never perfect or easy to work with and this was evident during our project. Some key things we learned are data cleaning, the process of multi-linear regression, and how to work as a group. This project allowed for hands-on experience in statistical research.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/hip-2025spring/1029/thumbnail.jp
Peer Mentoring Service Learning at The L.E.A.D. Scholars Academy
No full textAs a second-year LEAD Scholar, I’m excited to share my experience as a Peer Mentor for first-year scholars enrolled in LDR 2001. In my presentation, I share my personal definition of peer mentor, reflecting on the personal growth and lessons I have learned throughout my semester as a Peer Mentor. I will also explore the role of service learning through peer mentoring within the L.E.A.D. Scholars Academy, highlighting how mentoring not only supports the academic and personal growth of first-year students but also develops leadership skills. Overall, this has been an incredibly rewarding journey that has deeply impacted me.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/hip-2025spring/1035/thumbnail.jp
Striking a Balance: Integrating AI and Traditional Learning Platforms for Holistic Education
No full textThis session explores how educators can balance cutting-edge AI tools with foundational learning platforms to create well-rounded, effective educational experiences. The presentation will highlight how AI enhances creativity, critical thinking, and efficiency while traditional platforms ensure mastery of core concepts and maintain academic structure. Thanks to access to textbooks across multiple disciplines, participants will evaluate how to enhance courses through scaffolding work to address academic integrity and improve learning across multiple disciplines
Custom AI in the Classroom: A Copilot Studio Case Study
No full textLooking for low-code / no-code solutions that allow faculty to develop their own AI for their own classes? In Fall 2024, Florida State University partnered with Microsoft to empower its faculty to create their own GPTs using Microsoft Copilot Studio. Faculty across campus participated in a pilot test where they created custom GPTs, trained them on their course syllabi, assignments, lectures, and more, and then made those GPTs available to their students. This presentation will present lessons learned from this pilot test regarding best practices for giving faculty the tools to create their own custom AI applications for their classes
Breaking Barriers: Engaging Reluctant Faculty in AI Integration Across Disciplines
No full textThis session will share insights from a Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning initiative designed to introduce AI tools like Google Notebook LM to professors hesitant about integrating AI into their teaching. Through workshops that combined live demonstrations, hands-on practice, and open dialogue about ethical concerns, faculty discovered practical applications for AI that aligned with their pedagogical goals. While a few faculty remained resistant, the presentation will highlight key factors that helped many overcome resistance. Session participants will leave with actionable strategies for engaging reluctant faculty in AI discussions and fostering a culture of experimentation and collaboration
AI in Nursing: Enhancing Care Plans While Preserving Critical Thinking
No full textIn an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping the healthcare landscape, this nursing classroom innovation explores the challenges and opportunities of incorporating an assignment involving the use of AI to generate patient care plans. Students were asked to use ChatGPT to develop a hypothetical care plan for a complex patient case, and then critically evaluate the advantages and limitations of using AI. In small group seminars, discussion topics included the importance of nursing judgment in patient-centered, evidenceinformed care; ethical considerations of using AI in healthcare; and AI\u27s potential to enhance critical thinking
Dialogic Writing with AI: Facilitating Writing\u27s Internal Conversation
No full textIf all writing is dialogue- with writers alternating between the roles author, reader, editor, and critic- historically not all writers have had access to the high-quality dialogue that a dedicated mentor can provide. This session explores AI\u27 s potential to democratize access to personalized and scaffolded writing support. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with an experimental AI-enhanced Virtual Writing Center, while experiencing the values of structured conversation both for developing the written work and for learning to communicate their writing needs, challenges, and aspirations
