Today, Chatbot makers utilize artificial intelligence and the latest conversational design to create bots that can communicate with students as well as teach them.

Although, AI will not replace a student’s favorite teacher (maybe in 20 something years) but can serve as a helper to the teacher or alternatively, help improve modern education.

There are several chatbot building platforms in the market that offer education bots that are designed to engage students and provide short and snappy but valuable information.

Students can simply interact with the chatbot on their preferred platform and instantly get a response from it!

Cool isn’t?

Ways Chatbot Improves The Education Industry

1. Chatbot as a Medium of Learning

Botsify has a dedicated chatbot for education. The chatbot can provide specified topics to students through standard text messaging or multimedia such as images, videos, audios, and document files.

Just like any classroom, the chatbot hands them out all learning material required then takes quizzes/tests and submits the results to their teachers. This eases out monitoring student performance and helps speed up the processes.

2. Chatbot Increases Student Engagement

Students today — are much more involved with technology than ever — which gives the benefit of enhancing their learning process and increase engagement into individual subjects.

Think about messaging apps as a medium of student-teacher communication — a chatbot will make it easier for the students to get information on their assignments, deadlines and important upcoming events.

3. Chatbot Provides Smart Feedbacks

Botsify conversational forms are a great way to collect feedback from students. These forms can be used to take a survey from students such as, how their course could be improved, how did they like the previous lecture or overall quality of their learning experience.

As a bonus, the bot collects all the feedback in one place for the teacher to look at and highlights the most common points mentioned in their feedbacks.

All hail technology!
