| Résumé |
Writing in most contexts today is done with digital,
computer-assisted support. Technologies based on artificial
intelligence (AI) such as intelligent tutoring (IT), automated
writing evaluation (AWE) and machine translation (MT) present new
opportunities, perspectives, and risks for tertiary education. The
challenge in university contexts is to determine how the advantages
of AI-related technology can be leveraged in language teaching and
academic writing while minimizing potential issues such as
ineffective communication, miscommunication, and misuse (e.g.
plagiarism). The main goal of the project is to show how they can
be brought systematically into classrooms and coaching as
surrogates for how to exploit AI in education, empowering lecturers
and students by demonstrating how smart machines can help students
to improve their writing. In order to meet this goal, we will
evaluate the applicability of various types of digital multilingual
writing support in Swiss universities and heighten current and
potential users’ awareness of the opportunities and risks they
entail. |
