“Evaluation of developing educational chatbots based on the seven principles for good teaching.”
Abstract
The use of chatbot, in general, is gaining popularity in several sectors. However, in the education field, chatbot as a learning tool to improve the teaching is still in its infancy. The course team developed several chatbot prototypes using Agile Software Development. This study evaluated the educational appropriateness of chatbot using Chickering and Gamson's Seven Principles for Good Teaching to improve the delivery of a group assessment in higher education. Findings showed that the use of chatbot addressed five principles in enhancing the traditional course teaching.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
