2025 2nd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Teacher Education (ICAITE), (2025), pp. 271-275

Conference Paper | Published: December 9, 2025

Abstract
In the evolving landscape of education, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping traditional pedagogical models and redefining the roles of teachers and students. This paper explores the transformative potential of Microsoft Copilot Vision, a multimodal AI tool, in enhancing teacher-student interaction and promoting educational equity. By integrating visual AI capabilities into classroom practices, educators can create more dynamic and adaptive learning environments that can personalize instruction, provide real-time feedback, and support diverse learning needs. The study examines how Copilot Vision facilitates inclusive learning environments, particularly for students with disabilities, language barriers, or limited access to resources. It also investigates the shifting role of teachers-from content deliverers to facilitators of AI-enhanced learning-and the ethical considerations surrounding human-AI collaboration in education. Anchored in the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), which advocates for inclusive and equitable quality education, this research highlights the opportunities and challenges of deploying AI vision tools to bridge learning gaps and foster meaningful engagement in the digital classroom setup.

Abstract
Video-based learning (VBL) is a cornerstone of modern education. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), tools such as AI-generated video summaries are increasingly used to enhance learner efficiency and streamline content delivery. However, little is known about how such summaries influence learner behavior, cognitive engagement, and motivation during exposure to instructional materials. The present study examined the impact of AI-generated summaries on engagement, comprehension, and intrinsic motivation in a controlled VBL environment. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to either a control group (video only) or a summary group (video plus AIgenerated summary). Results showed that summary access led to significantly reduced video viewing time, suggesting that learners treated the summary as a substitute rather than a complement. While comprehension scores were only moderately lower in the summary group, deeper analysis revealed underperformance on conceptual transfer items. Intrinsic motivation was also significantly lower, particularly in interest and perceived value. These findings underscore the need for intentional design when integrating AI-generated support, as unstructured summary access may promote shallow engagement and diminish learning outcomes. The study concludes with design implications, recommended strategies for integrating AI-generated supports, and directions for future research in VBL environments.

Abstract
As higher education increasingly adopts hybrid learning models, understanding the role of digital environments in supporting student well-being has become essential. While prior studies have examined the clinical and instructional applications of the metaverse, little attention has been given to its informal, socially immersive uses. This study explores how voluntary participation in a beach-themed, off-campus metaverse environment relates to students' perceived stress, mental health, social connectedness, and academic belonging. Using a quantitative observational design, data were collected from validated psychological scales and behavioral engagement metrics. Correlational analyses revealed that greater time spent in the metaverse was significantly associated with lower perceived stress and higher social connectedness. Multiple regression indicated that recurring peer interactions and event attendance were significant predictors of academic belonging, while time spent alone was not. ANOVA results showed that students with higher levels of metaverse engagement reported significantly greater perceived social support, with a trend toward lower psychological distress. These findings highlight the psychosocial value of informal metaverse spaces. When designed to support peer interaction and voluntary participation, such environments can serve as digital third places that promote emotional resilience, connection, and belonging in hybrid academic settings. Overall, this study extends the current literature by foregrounding the affective and social affordances of metaverse environments beyond structured therapeutic or instructional contexts.

Conference Paper | Published: December 5, 2025

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the prediction and optimization of advanced energy materials by enabling accurate, scalable modeling beyond traditional methods. This review evaluates recent AI applications—including Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks (CNNs, RNNs), tree-based ensembles, and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR)—for forecasting performance metrics such as overpotential, conductivity, capacity, and degradation. GNNs achieved R2 > 0.90 in structure-sensitive tasks; LSTM models predicted battery degradation with <10% error; and tree-based models balanced accuracy (MAE < 0.15 V) with interpretability. GPR excelled in low-data regimes via uncertainty quantification. Hybrid and physics-informed models improved generalizability and data efficiency. While challenges remain in data quality and integration with experiments, emerging strategies like autonomous labs and generative design offer promising advances. This review provides comparative benchmarks and highlights pathways for robust AI-driven materials discovery.

Optimizing Compressive Strength of Concrete with Cocos Nucifera Ash Under Varying Thermal Treatment Conditions: A Response Surface Model Approach

2024 IEEE 16th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2025), pp. 1-6

Conference Paper | Published: December 3, 2025

Abstract
The use of Cocos nucifera (coconut shell) ash as a supplementary cementitious material has shown potential in enhancing the compressive strength of concrete. However, the optimal calcination temperature and duration for producing effective ash remain uncertain. This study employs a Central Composite Design (CCD) to investigate the effect of calcination on concrete strength. Nine combinations of temperatures 550°. to 800°C) and durations (1 to 3 hours) were tested, producing 13 samples, which were cured for 28 days before compressive strength testing. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis identified 15 elements, with iron significantly influencing strength. The highest compressive strength (24.9 MPa) was achieved at 675°C for 2 hours, where iron content reached 16.63 %. A full quadratic regression model was developed, with an R2 of 79.47 %, and backward elimination refined the model to a predicted R2 of 67.32 %. Sensitivity analysis revealed temperature as the most significant factor, with a sensitivity value of 14.53 compared to 1.48 for duration. Optimization indicated the ideal calcination temperature to be 672.81° C. This study supports sustainable development goals by advancing innovative materials for infrastructure and by promoting the use of agricultural waste, reducing the environmental footprint of concrete production.
SPOTN'GO: An Interactive Web-Based Promoting for Best Places to Go in the City of Manila

2024 IEEE 16th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2025), pp. 1-6

Conference Paper | Published: December 3, 2025

Abstract
Navigating to find attractions can be challenging for tourists due to the lack of navigation websites that pinpoint any tourist attractions within Metro Manila. The lack of navigation websites may lead to fewer tourists visiting the place and hinder tourism in the area. To resolve this issue, the researchers developed ‘SpotN’Go: An interactive web-based platform promoting the best places to visit in the city of Manila.' This website promotes various attractions including historical sites, old churches, and parks where visitors can enjoy their visit. By blending educational content with an entertaining format, the platform helps users understand the history and appreciate the beauty of the places they visit. The study uses an Input-Process-Output (IPO) design. Users (input) provide information and feedback throughout development. This information is used to improve the web platform (process), which showcases Manila's attractions. The enhanced platform is then beta tested (output) to identify and fix errors before the final launch. A survey assessed the system's quality using the FURPS model (Functionality, Usability, Reliability, Performance, Supportability). Public users (tourists) rated it ‘Strongly Agree’ overall, while IT administrators rated it ‘Agree’ across all aspects (average score: 4.06). This suggests the system meets its goals for both user groups. The study concludes that SpotN'Go successfully achieved its goals by creating a web platform that showcases Manila attractions through information, videos, photos, and maps. The researchers recommend further development to promote various tourist spots that will have a positive impact on Philippine tourism and tourist attractions.
Persona-Rama: An Explainer Video Series Advocating for Niche Affinity Spaces of Fanfiction, Furries & VTubers in the Filipino Digital Landscape

2024 IEEE 16th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2025), pp. 1-5

Conference Paper | Published: December 3, 2025

Abstract
Research on affinity spaces in the Philippines is lacking, namely the subjects-the online communities of vtubers, furries, and fanfiction. As such, the research objective includes to gain a better understanding of these affinity spaces, and implement them to the research's audience through informative explainer videos coupled with a narrative. There is also a digital campaign, and an animated music-video to act as a climax to the aforementioned narrative. The research is conducted in the perceived context of having these affinity spaces largely related to the nature of the multimedia space and contemporary world in general, as well as being related to the study of online community behaviors. Once project context and related literature are gathered, the output commences in production, then a formative evaluation is conducted, followed by a summative evaluation after sampling project demonstrations. The methodology used for the data gathering employs a mixed method approach, with a qualitative approach used mainly for interviews with experts on the fields, and quantitative on surveying the respondents about the project. Purposive nonprobability sampling will be used when dealing with quantitative data, purposive sampling for gathering substantial amounts of information from point persons, and Slovin's formula for unbiased samples respectively. The population sample will be gathered from third year students currently enrolled in the Multimedia Arts from FEU Institute of Technology, while clustering ages 16-25 in gen z. A majority of the data gathered from the evaluations yields satisfactory categories in surveys from summative testing, compared to a lower score on formative, which entails a success when deducing how audiences would learn more about these affinity spaces. Thus far, the research adds available academic information regarding these topics in the Philippine context, to which any interested party may source from.
