DESCRIPTION:Part of the CIT Summer Series\, Dr. Maiga Chang will present hi
 s topic Chatbot in Education :\n\nOnline learning and teaching do not mean
  that putting course materials online and asking students to learn by them
 selves. It is important to provide students supports when they encounter q
 uestions about course content or materials. When students ask their questi
 on on a discussion forum in an online learning environment\, sometimes the
 re may have no one available at that time to help them due to time differe
 nces or study behaviors and needs – for instances some students may have
  family/children/baby and day job and they might not be able to do their s
 tudy until late night or weekends. This leads to an obvious conclusion tha
 t if a system was in place to provide an automated summary\, this could fa
 cilitate learning. Having an easily accessible system\, which can quickly 
 provide responses\, allows students to get information that may have other
 wise been difficult to find. In this talk\, I will explain how chatbots ca
 n be developed and discuss three potential chatbot in education applicatio
 ns: (1) the Ask4Summary Moodle plugin (https://ask4summary.vipresearch.ca/
 #download) acts like an online tutor can automatically answers a student
 ’s question with a summary assembled via matching and retrieving from th
 e stored information\; (2) a block-based\, visual editing environment to a
 lleviate the burden of knowledge imposed on users wishing to implement cha
 tbots in their use of training and/or as an automated first-level of suppo

 <p>Online learning and teaching do not mean that putting course materials 
 online and asking students to learn by themselves. It is important to prov
 ide students supports when they encounter questions about course content o
 r materials. When students ask their question on a discussion forum in an 
 online learning environment\, sometimes there may have no one available at
  that time to help them due to time differences or study behaviors and nee
 ds &ndash\; for instances some students may have family/children/baby and 
 day job and they might not be able to do their study until late night or w
 eekends. This leads to an obvious conclusion that if a system was in place
  to provide an automated summary\, this could facilitate learning. Having 
 an easily accessible system\, which can quickly provide responses\, allows
  students to get information that may have otherwise been difficult to fin
 d.&nbsp\; In this talk\, I will explain how chatbots can be developed and 
 discuss three potential chatbot in education applications: (1) the Ask4Sum

 th a summary assembled via matching and retrieving from the stored informa
