Students in a math education class taught by Ozgul Kartal, associate professor of curriculum and instruction, used virtual reality to engage with an AI avatar to simulate a conversation with an elementary school student about solving a math problem. Wisconsin Public Radio published a story about the activity. Five Warhawks were referenced or quoted in the article — Kartal; Corey King, chancellor; Jonathan Spike, interim AI special assistant to the provost and teaching, learning, and technology manager; Amber Seefeld, an elementary middle education major from Janesville; and Mckenzie Weiss, a special education major from Walworth.
