1. GenAI in Teaching, Learning, and Research


1.1 Personalized Chatbots for Learning Modules

Our team has developed customized chatbots designed for specific academic modules to assist students in their studies. These chatbots act as virtual tutors, guiding students through complex topics, answering queries, and offering step-by-step explanations. By integrating Generative AI, we aim to make learning interactive, accessible, and personalized for every student.

1.2 Exam-Based Chatbots

Our exam-focused chatbots specialize in generating multiple-choice and essay questions based on course material. They also assist students in practicing by answering their queries, analyzing their responses, and offering feedback. These tools are invaluable for test preparation and skill reinforcement.

To get started, students simply upload a sample final paper and the relevant module content. The chatbot then uses this input to create custom practice questions, mirroring the format and complexity they are likely to encounter in their actual exams. This targeted approach ensures that students can focus their preparation where it matters most.
