Suggestion for users
One key suggestion for users is to emphasize the AI Agent’s curated knowledge base to students. This is particularly important for content-based modules, as module-specific definitions play a crucial role in the marking descriptors and are essential for students to achieve the learning outcomes. Unlike general internet searches or other AI tools, this AI Agent is specifically designed to understand and provide what students need in terms of content, materials, and assessments for your specific module. By helping students recognize this and demonstrating its value through guided prompts, you can enhance their engagement with your module’s content, materials, and even see more hits on your Learning Mall page!
