Inspiration
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced almost all schools in Indonesia to carry out activities from home online. Not all teachers have good ICT knowledge. So that it makes learning not optimal, even not going well. Even though there are many (free) learning tools that can be used.
What it does
BantuGuru is a virtual assistant to help teachers in Indonesia find the right tools for their learning. This tool is designed with a chatbot in Indonesian to facilitate interactive and attractive communication.
How I built it
This platform was developed using the bot platform owned by Microsoft Azure. Published on a website for easy access from multiple devices.
Challenges I ran into
The toughest challenge is compiling and mapping content, because I have to study the education curriculum in Indonesia. For this reason, the chatbot is currently still in the development phase, it is predicted that new content will be completed by the end of August 2020.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
In this hackathon session, I managed to create a CMS system for content contribution and bot learning. So my homework is just a matter of completing the existing content and resources.
What I learned
A good application system must be able to adapt to the needs of different users. From the presenters in the workshop session during the hackathon, I learned several things, one of which is the use of data to create user personalization strategies.
What's next for BantuGuru
This system will be published free of charge to assist teachers all over Indonesia. Content capabilities will continue to be improved. I also hope to collaborate with other edtech startups to provide on-demand training for teachers if needed.
