This book will cover theoretical and practical applications of socially engaging interactive systems either as virtual agents, or chatbots (intended as conversational voice interfaces), or robots physically occupying user's space. Theoretical determinants affecting user's intentions to use and accepts such systems will be considered such as user's social influence, accomplishments of important user's goals, hedonic motivations (the fun or pleasure of using a technology), price values (a trade-off between perceived benefits and monetary costs), and users' habits. In addition to these...

This book presents the first practice-based account of Generative AI (GenAI) integration in postgraduate courses, structured across three approaches: course redesign and delivery, assessment redesign, and evaluation adaptations. The book introduces GenAI as a knowledge collaborator and reports the practical approaches, such as redesigning group activities into applied, research-driven tasks, providing detailed GenAI usage instructions, and requiring acknowledgement and reporting tools such as AI Contribution Forms, GenAI Integration Rubrics, and AI Contribution Assessment Forms, while...
