Teaching & Learning: School of Public Health Faculty Member Explores Using AI to Enhance Biostatistics Learning

Assistant Professor of Biostatistics Karen Nielsen, of Georgia State’s School of Public Health, is developing course materials that will prepare students to ethically and effectively use generative artificial intelligence in a range of quantitative subjects.

The course materials will be available to faculty across the institution and will include general content on ethical considerations and privacy concerns, as well as specific information on using generative AI for learning statistics concepts and improving programming skills.

Nielsen’s work is supported by the university’s Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Online Education (CETLOE).

Experiential, Project-based, and Interdisciplinary Learning Pilot Program Yields Promising Results, Valuable Student Experience

A Georgia State University experiential, project-based, and interdisciplinary learning pilot program is yielding promising results for student achievement following its initial semesters.

The Experiential Project-based Interdisciplinary Curriculum (EPIC) program was launched in fall 2019 to provide first-year students an opportunity to learn by doing in long-term projects that begin in core curriculum/general education courses, such as English composition or introduction to American government (political science 1101).

A preliminary analysis of grade point averages and DFW rates show a statistically significant impact, with improved GPAs, as well as a moderating effect on DFWs, especially among first-generation college students.

Nursing Professor Emerita Funds Interdisciplinary Health Simulation Center

Alice S. Demi, professor emerita of nursing, has committed $1 million to the Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions to build Georgia State University’s first interdisciplinary health simulation center.

The center, which will bear her name, will be used to teach students in Lewis College majors, including nursing, health informatics, nutrition, occupational therapy, physical therapy and respiratory therapy.

Simulation centers and laboratories offer interprofessional education opportunities and are increasingly valuable as hospital and healthcare facility-based clinical placements become more difficult for students to secure.
