Background of the study
The rise of distance learning and e-learning platforms has revolutionized education, making learning accessible to students who may not be able to attend traditional classroom settings. However, one of the key challenges of distance learning is maintaining student engagement, providing timely assistance, and offering personalized support. AI-based virtual tutors can offer a solution to these challenges by providing real-time, 24/7 support for students in online learning environments. These AI tutors are capable of interacting with students, answering questions, providing explanations, and guiding them through learning materials based on their specific needs. In Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, distance learning has been growing, and there is a need to enhance the virtual learning experience by integrating AI-powered virtual tutors. This study aims to analyze the impact and effectiveness of AI-based virtual tutors in supporting distance learning students at the university.
Statement of the problem
Despite the widespread adoption of distance learning platforms, students at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, face difficulties in accessing timely academic support due to the lack of personalized assistance, particularly outside regular class hours. Traditional online learning platforms often fail to provide adequate interaction and guidance, leading to decreased student satisfaction and performance. AI-powered virtual tutors can potentially fill this gap by providing consistent, tailored assistance to students, but the feasibility and effectiveness of these systems within the university's context remain underexplored.
Objectives of the study
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of AI-based virtual tutors in improving student engagement and academic performance in distance learning at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.
2. To analyze students' perceptions and experiences with AI-based virtual tutors in the online learning environment.
3. To assess the potential benefits and challenges of implementing AI-based virtual tutors for distance learning at the university.
Research questions
1. How effective are AI-based virtual tutors in improving student engagement and academic performance in distance learning at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma?
2. What are the experiences and perceptions of students using AI-based virtual tutors in their distance learning courses?
3. What challenges and benefits are associated with implementing AI-based virtual tutors in distance learning?
Research hypotheses
1. AI-based virtual tutors will significantly improve student engagement and academic performance in distance learning at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.
2. Students will have positive perceptions and experiences with the use of AI-based virtual tutors in their online courses.
3. The implementation of AI-based virtual tutors will result in better learning outcomes and higher satisfaction rates among distance learning students.
Significance of the study
This study will provide valuable insights into the role of AI-based virtual tutors in enhancing the distance learning experience. The findings will help inform the development and implementation of AI-powered tools that can support students' academic growth and engagement in online learning environments, particularly at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.
Scope and limitations of the study
The study will focus on analyzing the use of AI-based virtual tutors for distance learning students at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State. Limitations include the availability of data, the adaptability of students to new technology, and the potential challenges of integrating AI tutors into the existing e-learning infrastructure.
