Research study invitation: AI-supported online student reflection

A team of Boise State University faculty is currently conducting a research study to examine whether AI-supported scaffolding can deepen student reflective practices in online courses. The team, in partnership with the eCampus Center, invites other online instructors to participate in this collaborative project during Fall 2026.

Participants will adapt or integrate three reflection activities (two AI-assisted and one traditional) into an online course, administer brief student surveys, and complete an instructor survey. All participants need to attend a 90-minute training with one of the project coordinators by Aug. 17. The reflection chatbot, student instructions, surveys and optional grading rubrics will be provided.

Since this is a research study, instructors will not know which students participate in the study in order to protect student privacy.

Those interested in participating in this project can complete the Fall 2026 Reflection Chatbot Study Interest Form. For questions about this activity, contact Lee Mitchell, Research and Innovation Consultant in the eCampus Center, at [email protected].
