Background of the Study
Teacher-student collaboration is essential for creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment. In Zaria Local Government Area, Kaduna State, traditional teaching methods often do not foster sufficient collaboration between teachers and students, leaving limited opportunities for engagement outside of class time. The rise of digital platforms has opened up new possibilities for improving communication and collaboration in educational settings. AI-powered discussion forums present a promising tool for enhancing interaction between teachers and students, especially in subjects that require critical thinking, debate, and active participation.
AI-powered discussion forums can facilitate real-time communication, where students can pose questions, share ideas, and collaborate on academic projects with their teachers and peers. These forums can be enhanced with AI tools that automatically categorize posts, suggest resources, or provide immediate feedback, fostering a more responsive and engaging educational experience. By providing personalized suggestions and moderating discussions, AI can ensure that all students are actively involved, while teachers can track students' participation and provide timely assistance.
