Análisis, diseño e implementación de un asistente tutor basado en computación cognitiva para su uso en entornos virtuales de aprendizaje

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a virtual tutor assistant that allows to interact with the student, through which they can ask questions related to specific topics about the contents of the class, which will help the teacher to focus on relevant topics within lessons. The wizard is based on cognitive computing, implementing the IBM Watson conversation service, which allows to build and deploy a chatbot through mobile devices, messaging platforms or a graphical interface. For the development of the virtual tutor assistant that is the main part of the work, the SCRUM development methodology was used; the IBM Bluemix development platform was used, in which the application made in Node.js is deployed, where the graphical interface is created and then integrated into a virtual learning environment, this will show the virtual tutor assistant that will simulate a conversation with the students, allowing them to access it and be able to interact by asking questions, the conversations will be stored in a database, to evaluate the assistant.
