Chatbots are helping universities better understand the needs of their students and proactively guide them toward support, educational technology leaders said.

Have you ever wondered how chatbots could help your corporate training? In this article, learn how chatbots could actually be the future of eLearning.

"If you’ve ever communicated with a business via a chatbox, chances are you were actually talking to a robot. Many businesses are using artificial intelligence (AI) to answer common customer questions, and now these little algorithmically-powered assistants may be the next major technology to reshape our classrooms."

"Artificial Intelligence isn’t locked away in ivory towers; it’s available in programs that we can use in our working lives today."

Chatbots are great for answering routine questions and provide personalized learning. Here's what 5 chatbots tell us about the future of Higher Ed:

"The term ‘chatbot’ may not be a universally recognized term yet, but that has not stopped chatbots from embedding themselves in our digital worlds.  Anyone who has a digital voice assistant in their home or classroom has a chatbot, and many of the websites we access regularly use text-based chatbots for at least part of the interaction.   In the classroom, chatbots can be used for simple tasks like checking the weather or playing background music.  As artificial intelligence continues to make inroads in education, the potential uses for chatbots in education grow."

"What are chatbots? Why are they such a big opportunity? How do they work? How can I build one? How can I meet other people interested in chatbots? These are the questions we’re going to answer for you right now."
