SUMMARY:Multi-stage Dev of AI NPCs for undergraduate education
DESCRIPTION:Full title: Multi-stage development of AI Non-Player Characters for educational purposes in an undergraduate curriculum.\nFive interconnected technological developments over the last 70 years have converged in recent decades to create new learning opportunities for foreign language learners: computers, computer games, internet, AI, chatbots, and speech recognition. This presentation will give a brief description of the multi-stage development process over 17 years of AI chatbots in Second Life used as part of a Chinese language and culture traditional undergraduate curriculum currently still in use in a major Australian university.\nThe presentation will also briefly touch on learner feedback at various stages of the development of the interactive NPCs and on published research related to the use of these NPCs in task-based learning within the formal undergraduate curriculum.\n \n
