Think of a chatbot as a tireless digital teaching assistant. Unlike open tools like Google Chat, a chatbot interacts directly with a single student. They are specialists focused on specific topics or skills. You control the information they access, the questions they can answer, and how they respond. Chatbots help ensure that students focus on learning, not finding shortcuts.
Chatbots are not only an advantage for students; lighten your workload also! Imagine a chatbot handling those repetitive questions about task deadlines or the basic steps of a procedure. That frees up your time to address complex questions, provide you with the individualized guidance that really makes a difference, and have the energy to be the inspiring teacher you want to be.
