ChatBot for the UOC

Description

The objective of this project is to create a Chatbot (communication channel) that allows UOC professors and students to customize their academic activities according to their competencies and learning objectives.

If you are a student, the Chatbot will propose exercises (QUIZZ, questions, pot, etc.) based on the subjects you are enrolled in and the teaching skills associated with the subjects you are enrolled in. This is based on an academic assessment recommender developed by MIT, an API from the UOC that facilitates student information, and an ontology in MC3 that relates the subjects with the skills acquired in each subject.

In the case of being a teacher, the Chatbot will offer tools that facilitate the creation of QUIZZ or quizzes for the subjects.

This Chatbot will be integrated in 3 different environments:

  • Within one of the NIU learning resources. The NIU is a mosaic-like structure that allows the student to see what is the activity to be solved and what are the learning resources proposed to solve it.
  • Inside a Moodle classroom
  • Within the Slack communication tool

This project is carried out within the collaboration framework of the DxTera Instiute (an American non-profit university consortium) of which the UOC is a member.

The inLab FIB together with SEIDOR are in charge of developing the communication channel and integrating it within the different resources of the UOC.
