Atlanta University Center Faculty Publications: A Selected Bibliography, March 2020

On February 28, 2006, the Robert W. Woodruff Library and the Library Advisory Council hosted an exhibit and reception celebrating the published works of Atlanta University Center faculty. As a complement to that event, the Robert W. Woodruff Library presents this publication, Atlanta University Center Faculty Publications: A Brief Bibliography, which highlights selected scholarly and research contributions of the Atlanta University Center faculty. The celebration has become an annual event and the bibliography illustrates the richness of faculty contributions within each institution and across the Atlanta University Center community. It should be viewed as a fluid document to be updated as new contributions emerge and will be preserved on the Library's website for future reference and use

Conversational Agents in Education – A Systematic Literature Review

Conversational Agents (CAs) are widely spread in a variety of domains, such as health and customer service. There is a recent trend of increasing publications and implementations of CAs in education. We conduct a systematic literature review to identify common methodologies, pedagogical CA roles, addressed target groups, the technologies and theories behind, as well as human-like design aspects. The initially found 3329 records were systematically reduced to 252 fully coded articles. Based on the analysis of the codings, we derive further research streams. Our results reveal a research gap for long-term studies on the use of CAs in education, and there is insufficient holistic design knowledge for pedagogical CAs. Moreover, target groups other than academic students are rarely considered. We condense our findings in a morphological box and conclude that pedagogical CAs have not yet reached their full potential of long-term practical application in education
