ChatGPT as a Learning Assistant in Distance Learning
by Michael Prodinger, Rita Stampfl and Marie Deissl-O'Meara (University of Applied Sciences Burgenland)
The following article deals with the implementation of a Learning Assistant, an advanced tool based on artificial intelligence (AI) that provides continuous learning support to students. The assistant is used in distance learning programmes at FH Burgenland Continuing Education. With ChatGPT installed and integrated into the Learning Management System (LMS), it functions as an assistant with the ability to answer questions from students whenever they arise. Additionally, a course teacher verifies and corrects the AI’s responses within 24 hours to guarantee the system’s correctness and dependability.
