Study Explores Student Acceptance of ChatGPT in African Higher Education

Study Explores Student Acceptance of ChatGPT in African Higher Education

A study conducted at Africa's largest distance education institution investigated student acceptance and use of ChatGPT in an Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) context. The research utilized an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model, incorporating 'Personal Innovativeness' as an additional predictor. Data from 294 students were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings revealed that 'Habit' was the strongest predictor of both behavioral intention and actual use of ChatGPT, followed by 'Facilitating Conditions,' 'Personal Innovativeness,' and 'Performance Expectancy.' Interestingly, 'Effort Expectancy' was negatively associated with behavioral intention, suggesting that students who found the technology easier to use were less inclined to adopt it when other factors were controlled. 'Social Influence' and 'Hedonic Motivation' did not significantly impact behavioral intention.

Association of Test Publishers Asia Division Event Highlights AI's Disruptive Impact on Assessment Industry

The 2026 Association of Test Publishers Asia Division (A-ATP) event featured discussions on the disruptive influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the assessment industry. A key highlight was Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan's keynote, "Disrupt or Be Disrupted – Assessment in the Age of AI," which cited the Duolingo English Test as a prime example of disruption to established tests like TOEFL and IELTS Official. The event also explored how AI could be used to assess student writing and provide feedback to educators, a concept discussed by Paul Edelblut. Additionally, Robert Day addressed critical issues concerning security in remotely delivered assessments, emphasizing the need for score users to ask pertinent questions about test security and for organizations to thoroughly vet test delivery partners. The overarching theme throughout the day was the potential of AI to generate feedback for test-takers, an area where high-stakes English tests are noted to be lagging.

Gates Foundation Commits $400 Million to AI in Education Amidst Literacy Concerns

Gates Foundation Commits $400 Million to AI in Education Amidst Literacy Concerns

The Gates Foundation has announced a significant commitment of $400 million towards integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into education. This funding is part of a larger $1 billion initiative by the foundation to develop and deploy AI across education, healthcare, and agriculture. The primary goal for education is to implement AI tutoring systems designed to individualize instruction for students who are struggling, with an initial focus on schools serving a high proportion of low-income students. The foundation emphasizes the inclusion of teacher training and independent evaluation as crucial components of this initiative. This move comes as some educators express concerns that schools with the greatest needs might be the least equipped to effectively utilize these new technologies, and that AI-driven performance gains could be temporary or misleading, especially for students with weaker foundational knowledge who may not discern AI inaccuracies. New York City, for instance, has taken a contrast...
