We are excited to announce the release of a new and improved chatbot A.I.D.E (Artificial Intelligence for Digital Education) on the 14th of September! A.I.D.E has been assisting UNSW Staff since 2019, and with emerging AI technologies, we are trialing a new technology of the chatbot for Term 3 2023 and Term 1 2024. The updated chatbot will be available within your Moodle course sidebar to assist with Moodle and Inspera-related questions.
As of 22/01/24, A.I.D.E will also have single sign-on which prepares us for more accurate responses and allows A.I.D.E to escalate to the faculty.
A.I.D.E. will continue to provide 24/7 EdTech support. If it cannot answer your questions, it will escalate your query to the EdTech Hub.
