A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.caeai.2021.100023\">chatbot<\/a>, also called a conversational or virtual agent, is a software or computer system designed to communicate with humans using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.datasciencecentral.com\/profiles\/blogs\/your-guide-to-natural-language-processing-nlp\">natural language processing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This communication can be via text messages or voice commands.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why a chatbot?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Chatbots offer a viable, win-win solution to teaching and learning centres and to faculty.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2016\/08\/26\/3-stats-that-show-chatbots-are-here-to-stay\/\">They are available 24\/7<\/a>, can respond to thousands of simultaneous requests and provide\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.aimultiple.com\/chatbot-benefits\/\">instant and robust service<\/a>\u00a0support when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Using chatbots could free teams for complex inquiries that require human interventions, such as transforming teaching approaches and collaborating to innovate solutions to respond to problems like improving equity and access in online teaching.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/07\/collaborative-intelligence-humans-and-ai-are-joining-forces\">A collaboration between the centres\u2019 experts and technology<\/a>\u00a0could provide better services and support for faculty to improve the learning experiences they create for students. Chatbots can guide faculty towards appropriate and effective resources and professional development activities, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/ctl\/decolonization.html\">how-to articles<\/a>, tutorials and upcoming workshops. These would be tailored to suit faculties\u2019 individual needs, their varied digital skills levels and backgrounds in designing hybrid learning experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Chatbot systems\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.caeai.2021.100033\">are already used in educational institutions<\/a>\u00a0for teaching and learning, to deliver administrative tasks, to advise students and assist them in research.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How would it work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Two options are possible when it comes to chatbots\u2019 AI conversational ability:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.analyticsvidhya.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/aiml-a-language-for-chatbots\/\">Artificial Intelligence Markup Language<\/a>\u00a0methodology: Programmers give the AI a library of questions\/answers and keyword associations through a database.

Once programmers build an initial dataset, the AI-powered tool will then learn from ongoing exchanges to find the best combination of answers to recurring questions asked by faculty members. The AI will then be able to identify keywords in a sentence and understand the context of a question.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That programmers would need to add data from the conversation to an ongoing dataset building throughout time is expected. When asked a question, the chatbot will respond based on its current knowledge database. If the conversation introduces a concept that it isn\u2019t programmed to understand, the chatbot can state it doesn\u2019t understand the question \u2014 or pass the communication to a human operator.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the chatbot will also learn from this interaction as well as future interactions.

If used in centres of teaching and learning, users should be protected against all forms of harm or abuse. They also need to feel treated fairly and to always be provided the option to reach a human.

Following the European approach to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/law-topic\/data-protection_en\">data protection<\/a>, centres should minimize data collection. Only required information should be stored, such as specific parts of conversations, but not the interlocutors\u2019 identity.<\/p>\n<p>The transparency-based approach allows for users to agree on which personal data can be shared or not with the centres. This would help keep trust and usability of the tool high. In case of malfunction, faculty members would provide feedback on the problem, and centres would fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Centres should consider anonymization of users, strong encryption of all data stored, and in-house storage when possible or by a trusted contracted third party following similar data privacy rules.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Addressing bias, environmental impact<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.ijinfomgt.2019.08.002\">possible bias<\/a>\u00a0in the initial database needs to be addressed.
