Organised by Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TALIC)
Designing an AI chatbot for teaching and learning is becoming increasingly important as it offers new opportunities for personalized and adaptive learning. Chatbots can provide students instant feedback, support, and guidance, making learning more accessible and engaging. The three workshops offered cater to different skill levels and focus on various aspects of AI chatbot development, providing a comprehensive chatbot development experience. By participating, learners will understand different kinds of chatbots and be better equipped to develop chatbots that provide personalized learning support.
