Designing chatbots for higher education practice

Sjöström, Jonas ; Aghaee, Nam LU orcid ; Dahlin, Maritha and Ågerfalk, Pär J. (2018) 2018 SIGED International Conference on Information Systems Education and Research
Abstract

In this research–in–progress paper, we employ design science research to articulate design knowledge for chatbots in higher education practice. We conducted a literature review to factor previous research into the design process. In addition, we performed a content analysis of student e-mails and forum posts from four instances of a basic Java programming course. Drawing from literature and data, we present a conceptual architecture for chatbots in higher education, discuss its rationale, and provide a proof-of-concept implementation. We conclude with a discussion including tentative design recommendations and a plan for continued research.
