The project aims to serve the national interest by improving manufacturing education and learning for diverse learners, including...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to develop novel natural language processing and artificial intelligence tools to augment scientific writing instruction. Funded at $199,955, the award will support Arizona State University in deploying automated fact-checking, feedback, knowledge tracing, and narrative story arc suggestion technologies within the StoriEdu collaborative story writing platform....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $175,000 supports research by Calvin University to develop interactive natural language technology to help writers structure and revise documents. The project, funded under NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), aims to create features that can be integrated into word processing applications to assist writers in organizing their thoughts and structuring their writing. The research team will...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $434,807 will fund the development of an innovative graduate student writing program at Auburn University from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The Writing System project aims to implement a multifaceted and sustainable approach to discipline-specific writing instruction and intervention for STEM graduate students. The Writing System comprises four main components - workshops, graduate-level writing courses, peer writing groups, and an open educational writing resources website. These components seek to equip students with effective STEM writing strategies while building self-efficacy and self-regulation skills. Auburn University will evaluate the program's impact on writing abilities, self-efficacy, and self-regulation for students in its biosystems, aerospace and civil engineering graduate programs. This award is being funded under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support innovative approaches to graduate STEM education. Evaluation will assess how the individual components and their combination affect outcomes. Findings aim to establish evidence-based and scalable writing support across STEM fields.
