About AI bots

How do AI bots support learning?

AI bots are digital learning assistants that help students and teachers explore, understand, and create knowledge through dialogue. You can have a conversation with an AI bot that explains concepts, provides examples, asks questions, and guides you through the learning process. For students, the AI bot is a learning partner, not an answer key. The goal is to stimulate curiosity, exploration, and reflection, so that students develop the ability to ask good questions, think critically, and learn independently, key skills for the 21st century.

How do AI bots work?

An AI bot sends your questions to a large language model that generates answers based on the content of the question and the conversation so far. It is important to remember that a language model does not "understand" information in the same way humans do. It predicts which words and phrases are most likely to fit as an answer. Therefore, AI bots can sometimes make mistakes or provide inaccurate answers, and information should always be critically evaluated.

How can AI bots help teachers?

AI bots are not just a tool for students. They can also be a valuable support in teachers' planning, implementation, and follow-up of teaching. By taking over some time-consuming tasks, AI bots can free up time for what matters most: guidance, relationship building, and personalized learning. For example, they can contribute ideas for lesson plans, reflection questions, differentiated activities, and subject explanations.

Tailored to different needs

Organizations can make different AI bots available for different roles and can create their own AI bots tailored to specific subjects, topics, student groups, and tasks. This makes it easier to provide the right support to the right user, so that both students and teachers receive help that is relevant to their goals and needs.

Think more, not less

The goal of AI bots is not to think for you, but to help you think more. When the technology is used consciously, it can contribute to increased curiosity, better questions, and deeper understanding. Therefore, AI bots are about more than finding answers. They are about developing the ability to learn.
