In this session, presenters will focus on the potential of integration of intelligent assistants (chatbots) into online Moodle courses, using IBM Watson Assistant Technology.

The first use case is called “Professor support”. It demonstrates the possibility of integrating chatbots into Moodle courses, MOOCs or trainings, in order to enhance learning, facilitate content browsing and save time when answering frequently asked questions.

The second use case is called “Activities recommender”. This chatbot was developed to support the team when choosing the appropriate graded or ungraded activity. This chatbot encompasses the in-house knowledge and expertise in the development of educational activities in Moodle. It avoids going through complex diagrams or decision trees, and uses simple questions/answers. The chatbot then provides the link to the appropriate documentation for the instructions to follow.
