When Kinki University used the virtual teaching assistant of the lecture support system developed by JIEC for system development for actual lectures, it was found that it had the effect of significantly shortening the question answering work from students.The research results will be announced at the 6 Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence National Convention to be held in Niigata City in June.
According to Kinki University, the assistant is a mechanism in which AI (artificial intelligence) automatically answers questions using existing Q & A collections, etc., when students ask questions during or after a lecture via a mobile or computer via a web prober.
Kinki University will operate the assistant in the second half of the Faculty of Science and Engineering "Information Media Project II" held at the Higashi-Osaka Campus in Higashi-Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture from September 2018 to March 9 to improve its effectiveness. I verified it.
As a result, there was a 1,600% chance that the correct answer was given to the total number of questions received, which was about 57.By collecting and visualizing the questions that could not be answered, it helped the instructors and graduate students to solve the students' questions.In addition to being able to respond to student questions 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the assistant is expected to play a role as a feedback mechanism that efficiently collects student needs and questions.
Kinki University uses graduate students as teaching assistants to give advice to undergraduate students and provide educational assistance, but there are times when many questions are concentrated during practical training and the instructors and graduate students cannot handle them. there were.
