Chatbots Evaluating Their Impact On University

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project stemmed from the increasing adoption of AI in education and the need to measure its tangible impact. Universities often implement chatbots for administrative assistance, academic support, and student engagement, but evaluating their effectiveness remains a challenge. This project aims to bridge that gap by providing insights into how chatbots contribute to the university ecosystem.

What it does

The project develops an AI-powered system that evaluates the impact of chatbots on university processes. It collects and analyzes data related to:

Student engagement: Tracks chatbot interactions for academic queries and feedback. Administrative efficiency: Measures the time saved by automating repetitive tasks. Learning outcomes: Evaluates improvements in academic performance and student satisfaction. The system provides actionable insights through dashboards, helping universities optimize chatbot usage.

How we built it

Backend: Python with Fetch.ai SDK for secure data handling and agent-based analytics. Frontend: React.js for an interactive dashboard to display impact metrics. Data Analysis: Integrated machine learning models for sentiment analysis and trend prediction. Data Sources: Simulated chatbot interaction logs, feedback surveys, and academic performance reports. Security: Used encryption to ensure sensitive data privacy.
