  • Evaluating generative artificial intelligence’s role in enhancing feedback for digital multimodal compositions: A comparative study

    Open Access•Kai Guo, Danling Li et al.•ARTICLE•Computer Assisted Language Learning•2026

    While research has examined the use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in assessing monomodal writing, its potential for evaluating digital multimodal compositions remains largely unexplored. This study compares feedback generated by GAI (GPT-4o) with feedback provided by teachers on multimodal academic posters created by 88 Chinese university students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Employing a mixed-methods design, we con…
