AI-assisted control systems learning project
AI-assisted control systems learning project
California State University, Channel Islands
Vedang Chauhan, an instructor at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), has developed an AI-assisted learning module for a Feedback Control Systems course. This project introduces a self-guided, AI-supported learning approach aimed at promoting active engagement and deeper understanding in technical subjects. The method centers on structured, prompt-based exploration using AI tools like ChatGPT, where students begin with guided prompts, receive explanations and step-by-step walkthroughs, and then customize the interaction based on their individual learning styles and pace. The AI functions as a supportive peer tutor, helping students clarify concepts, develop problem-solving strategies, enhance critical thinking, and build confidence. The approach concludes with a student-completed problem and a short assessment to evaluate understanding without AI assistance. As a demonstration of this model, the topic of design via state-space methods in control systems is used to illustrate how AI can improve comprehension of abstract and mathematical concepts while fostering ethical and independent learning.
Playposit for Chem 251 Spectroscopy Unit
Playposit for Chem 251 Spectroscopy Unit
California State University, Channel Islands
Michelle Kobrin, Instructor from Channel Islands, created Playposit bulbs for Chem 251Quantitative Analysis spectroscopy unit. The unit included a playlist of 10 Playposit bulbs compiled into a single playlist, which was assigned in Canvas for students to interact with during Week 14 lectures. Chem 251 is a flipped class, so this Playposit set served as their lectures for the week. Post week 14, Chem 251 students were interviewed to evaluate the advantages of Playposit technology compared to the previous approach, where watching the lectures was optional. Based on the feedback, this Playposit playlist will continue to be incorporated into the Chem 251 course going forward.
