Work in Progress: Student Use of Online Resources and AI for Learning in Biomedical Engineering Courses

Abstract

As students more frequently engage with the virtual world for learning [1-3], it becomes increasingly important for instructors to understand how students are using online resources and artificial intelligence (AI) to learn course material. Identifying how students use online resources and AI is especially critical for the field of biomedical engineering (BME), whose multidisciplinary scope may require students to use online resources not necessarily created for BME audiences or that are supplied directly by the course instructor. The goal of our IRB-approved study (IRB # XXXXX) is to identify BME students’ current use of online resources and AI by surveying both BME students and instructors about how online resources and AI are being used by BME students and instructors to support learning in BME courses.
