Overview
edit
Have you ever felt lonely? If you have friends, you can help remedy this feeling by sending one a message- start a conversation! If you're feeling a little down, maybe you could vent to this friend. This can work well if your friend is free to talk, but if you happen to feel down during work hours or when everyone else is asleep, you can be left with no-one to talk to. Now, an AI "chatbot" can fill the role of that friend 24/7 (see figure 1)! There is someone you can talk to whenever, wherever. But is the experience the same as talking to a human? Could it be... better? |
The problems:
edit- Friends aren't always available to talk
- Venting can overwhelm a friend
- Can AI really replicate the experience of talking to a friend?
This template provides tips for the topic development exercise. Gradually remove these suggestions as the chapter develops. It is OK to retain some of this template content for the topic development exercise. Also consult the book chapter guidelines.
The Overview is typically consists of one to four paragraphs inbetween the scenario and focus questions. Suggested word count aim for the Overview: 180 to 330 words.

Focus questions: Break the problem (i.e., the sub-title) down into three to five focus questions. Focus questions can also be used as top-level headings.
Ask open-ended focus questions. For example:

Headings
edit- Aim for three to six main headings inbetween the Overview and Conclusion
- Sub-headings can also be used, but
- avoid having sections with only one sub-heading
- provide an introductory paragraph before breaking into sub-sections
What is empathy?
editCan AI empathise?
editWill AI replace human counsellors?
editKey points
edit- Provide at least three bullet-points per headingʔ and sub-heading, including for the Overview and Conclusion
- Include key citations
Figures
edit- Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and to serve as examples
- Figures can show photos, diagrams, graphs, video, audio, etcetera
- Embed figures throughout the chapter, including the Overview section
- Figures should be captioned (using Figure #. and a caption). Use captions to explain the relevance of the image to the text/
- Wikimedia Commons provides a library of embeddable images
- Images can also be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons if they are openly licensed
- Refer to each figure at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 2)
Learning features
editInteractive learning features help to bring online book chapters to life and can be embedded throughout the chapter.
- Scenarios
- Scenarios or case studies describe applied/real-world examples of concepts in action
- Case studies can be real or fictional
- A case study could be split into multiple boxes throughout a chapter (e.g., to illustrate different theories or stages)
- It is often helpful to present case studies using feature boxes.
- Feature boxes
- Important content can be highlighted in a feature box. But don't overuse feature boxes, otherwise they lose their effect.
- Consider using feature boxes for:
- Scenarios, case studies, or examples
- Focus questions
- Tips
- Quiz questions
- Take-home messages
- Links
- When key words are introduced, use interwiki links to:
- Wikipedia (e.g., Sigmund Freud wrote about (e.g., dreams) or
- Related book chapters (e.g., writer's block)
- Tables
- Use to organise and summarise information
- As with figures, tables should be captioned
- Refer to each table at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
- Example 3 x 3 tables which could be adapted
Table 1. Descriptive Caption Which Explains The Table and its Relevant to the Text - Johari Window Model

- Quizzes
- Using one or two review questions per major section is usually better than a long quiz at the end
- Quiz conceptual understanding, rather than trivia
- Don't make quizzes too hard
- Different types of quiz questions are possible; see Quiz
Example simple quiz questions. Choose your answers and click "Submit":
Is this empathy or sympathy?
Conclusion
edit- The Conclusion is arguably the most important section
- Suggested word count: 150 to 330 words
- It should be possible for someone to only read the Overview and the Conclusion and still get a pretty good idea of the problem and what is known based on psychological science
