AI TOTALLER for ELT: Prompt Engineering AI Companions in VR/VWs - an Evaluation Form

​Enhancing the AI TOTALLER Framework: The Importance of the Evaluation Form (available on this link)

As language educators, our goal is to create effective and engaging learning experiences for our students. The integration of innovative frameworks, such as the AI TOTALLER with API Keys into language teaching in Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Worlds (VWs) has the potential to transform how we approach language learning. However, to ensure that this framework meets its intended objectives and continues to evolve, it is crucial to gather feedback systematically.

Applying the 'AI TOTALLER' Model for lessons in VR/VWs with AI Companions

In order to apply the Framework in your teaching set-up, you need to make sure you: 

1. Understand the Model
2. Review the Examples provided
3. Create an immersive prompt with some or all of the elements of AI TOTALLER
4. Insert the prompt into your AI Companion(s) and review their responses
5. Share your review together with the link to your activity in any of the VR/VW destinations we have explored, on our Padlet (AI Companion and Prompt card based on TOTALLER), together with your feedback 

Purpose of the AI TOTALLER Evaluation Form

The AI TOTALLER Evaluation Form is an essential tool for me, as the developer of the framework, to gather insights that will help refine and enhance the AI TOTALLER for English Language Teaching (ELT) in VR/VWs with AI companions. Here are the key purposes of this evaluation form:

Assess Effectiveness

• The form allows for feedback collection on how well the AI TOTALLER framework supports language learning objectives. Evaluating aspects such as engagement, clarity, and adaptability helps determine the framework's overall effectiveness.

Identify Strengths and Weaknesses

• By gathering detailed responses from educators and students, I can pinpoint which components of the framework are working well and which areas may need improvement. This information is crucial for refining the framework.

​

Promote Continuous Improvement

• The feedback obtained through the evaluation form encourages an iterative approach to development. Insights gained from evaluations will inform adjustments to enhance future iterations of the AI TOTALLER framework.

​

Support Data-Driven Development

• The evaluation form provides quantifiable data that I can use to support decisions regarding updates and enhancements to the framework. This data-driven approach ensures that changes are based on actual user experiences.

​

Foster Collaboration

• Sharing evaluation results with educators can foster collaboration and discussion about best practices in using the AI TOTALLER framework. Collective reflection can lead to innovative ideas and improved teaching methods across various contexts.

How to Use the AI TOTALLER Evaluation Form

To effectively utilise the AI TOTALLER Evaluation Form in your classroom:

Distribute the Form: Share the evaluation form with your teachers/students after implementing the AI TOTALLER framework in your lessons.

Encourage Honest Feedback: Emphasise the importance of providing honest and constructive feedback to help improve the framework.

Analyse Results: After collecting responses, I will analyze the data to identify trends and areas for improvement.

Make Adjustments: Use insights from the evaluation to refine the AI TOTALLER framework, making necessary adjustments to enhance its effectiveness.
​
The AI TOTALLER Evaluation Form is a vital resource for me as I work to develop and enhance this framework for English Language Teaching in VR/VWs with AI companions. By systematically assessing its impact on language learning, I can ensure that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with educators' needs.
