AI Course Assistant
If your Instructor has enabled it, you'll be able to interact with the AI Course Assistant, in the lower left hand side of your eClass site. Click on the Einstein-esque logo and a chat window will appear:
You may interact with the bot. You can ask it anything, and if the information is available, it will return your response. If you press the speaker icon, the bot will relay the message through your speakers
Typical queries include:
- What is the mark breakdown of the course?
- Where can I find the contact information?
- How are the tutorials divided?
- What is this course about, anyhow?
- Or, anything you can think of that's related to the course.
If it does not know the answer, it will inform you that it is not programmed in that area: Try rephrasing your question.
