Robins and Pierce Help with Speech Anxiety |
Matthew Robins (left), director, Communication Center, and Sabrina Pierce (right), graduate student director, are exploring ways to integrate virtual reality (VR) into the Communication Center to help reduce students' speech anxiety. After talking with the Immersive Technology Lab director at University of Cambridge about the app he developed, the center obtained permission to implement the app at A-State and the lab donated 30 VR headsets. They will begin a pilot program in an oral communication course to evaluate how it can best support students.

Ed Leadership Faculty Bring ‘AI in Action’ to Conference |
|
|
|
Two teams from Educational Leadership took the same idea — using AI to strengthen, not replace, good teaching — to an international audience, presenting two sessions under the title “AI in Action: Faculty Strategies for Teaching Online Graduate Courses.” The Global Conference on Education and Research (GLOCER) was held virtually. Dr. Jessie King, assistant professor, and Dr. Rick Stripling, associate professor, co-presented a talk on practical, faculty-centered approaches for integrating artificial intelligence into online graduate teaching, while holding the line on academic rigor, ethical standards, and real student engagement. King joined a second session, with Dr. Eric Gotte, assistant professor, and Michael J. Thacker, psychology student at Capella University. That presentation highlighted practical, responsible ways faculty can put AI to work in online graduate courses, framing it as a support tool for faculty expertise rather than a stand-in.

| West Research Poster at Conference |
Eric West, associate professor of health sciences and risk management, presented a peer-reviewed research poster at the 2026 American Society for Nutrition annual conference. His poster concerned his research into unrecognized symptoms of hypoglycemia in the general population. It featured a mixed‑methods study that used an explanatory sequential design to bring awareness to potential hazards hypoglycemic symptoms can have on reaction times, to increase safe driving practices.
