Integrating AI-Driven Counselling to Address Habitual Failures in Medical Education
*Zeelaf Shahid, Soobia Saeed and Rubina Ghani
Abstract: Background: Given recent developments such as the recurrent academic failure among medical students, higher educational institutions are addressing ways to keep these students continuously motivated, as well as boost their emotional resilience and cognitive engagement. This study proposes the Counselling Cell Model through which habitual failures are detected, predicted, and remediated by data-based interventions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is utilized in this model to combine ....

Student Perception and Pedagogical Implications of Generative AI in Digital Storyboarding: A Case Study at NEUC
*Khairul Yusri Zamri and Huda Omar
Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) is rapidly transforming educational practice, yet its impact on processes in creative disciplines remains underexplored. This mixed-methods case study investigates how 12 undergraduate design students engaged with Gen AI in digital storyboarding at New Era University College (NEUC). Findings reveal that while prompt formulation posed the most significant challenge (75% reporting a high challenge), students also reported an enhanced understanding of the workflow (75% perceiving significant benefits). Four dynamic themes were identified ...

The Application of AI in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language: Improving Classroom Interaction and Student Engagement
*Panjie Dong and Joseph M. Velarde
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, and its integration into language education has grown steadily, particularly in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL). Within this context, this study aims to systematically explore how AI use correlates with classroom interaction, student engagement, and collaborative learning in TCFL. Three core research questions ...

SonicLens: Visual Metaphors and Explainable AI for Formative Feedback in Sound Design Education
*Razif Mohamed
Abstract: SonicLens is an artificial intelligence application designed to assist design students as they encounter the complexities of sound design. Within design education, critique is widely recognized as the signature pedagogy that shapes how students reflect, iterate, and refine their creative work. However, many novice learners find the technical vocabulary of audio engineering difficult to interpret, while instructors ...

Animation and BIM-VR Integration for Architectural Design Visualization
*Anne Chua Ann Yii, Chai Changsaar, Jiao Yang, Lee Chia Kuang, Nur IzieAdiana Abidin and Goh Kai Chen
Abstract: Architectural design visualisation in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) education requires integrated digital workflows supporting immersive spatial experience. These workflows enable dynamic environmental simulation and seamless software interoperability. Existing approaches face challenges including fragmented multi-software pipelines and limited animation integration within BIM-VR environments. Loss of parametric metadata during file conversion further constrains current workflows. This study develops ...
