Developing personalized Chatbots and evaluating their effectiveness as teaching assistants in adult learning
Dr Miao Huang, Temasek Polytechnic
This project proposes to create an AI teaching assistant using a Chatbot, to assist tutors in providing individualized learning experiences and pathways for their adult learners. The Chatbot will have access to learning analytics information of learners to provide highly customizable content for learners with various needs. For example, for the academically slow progressing CET learners, the Chatbot identifies the domains that require more help and directs them to more relevant and specific resources. The instantaneous and efficient communication allows the learner to be proactive in asking questions, seeking clarifications and assistance on the fly, without the fear of being judged for the quantity or content of their inquiries. The Chatbot can also contain assessment or assignment information to help learners to prioritize their time.
Project Summary by PI hereDialogical Inquiry: Developing Quantitative Instruments for Profiling Future Skills
Asst Prof Albert Kai Chung Lee, Nanyang Technological University
This project brings together two fields of research that rarely work together – social psychology and a socio-cultural perspective, both within the field of adult learning. In a small way, this project provides a means to make visible the assumptions, theoretical stances, and units of analysis embodied in the logic of various epistemological, ontological approaches that are otherwise assumed and, thus, silent. The project will move beyond multi-disciplinary research towards a transdisciplinary approach in the field of the science of adult learning, in Singapore and around the world.
Project Summary by PI hereDigital Capacity Building for Own-account Workers in Singapore
Dr Carol Soon, National University of Singapore
The objective of this study is to advance the digital skills and competencies of own-account workers in Singapore through benchmarking a set of job-ready digital skills and mapping a framework for digital skills development. The project seeks to unlock the benefits of digitalisation for a segment of Singaporean workers who tend to be digitally low-skilled so that they too can participate meaningfully in the digital economy. Findings from the study will support the policymaking work of SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), the SG Digital Office (SDO) and the National Jobs Council.
