Background of the study
Student support services are vital in ensuring that students have a positive and successful academic experience. These services encompass a wide range of functions, including academic advising, counseling, career guidance, and administrative support. However, in many universities, these services are often under-resourced and face challenges in meeting the growing demands of students. AI-powered chatbots present a viable solution to enhance student support services by providing 24/7 access to information, answering frequently asked questions, assisting with administrative tasks, and offering academic and career advice. In Taraba State University, Jalingo, an AI-powered chatbot could automate and streamline student support processes, making them more efficient and accessible. This study will focus on the design and implementation of an AI-powered chatbot for student support services and evaluate its impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of these services.
Statement of the problem
At Taraba State University, Jalingo, the student support services face several challenges, including limited staffing, high student-to-staff ratios, and the increasing need for prompt assistance. These challenges can lead to delays in service delivery, which negatively impacts the student experience. AI-powered chatbots offer a promising solution to alleviate these challenges by providing quick, accurate, and consistent responses to student inquiries. However, the effectiveness of AI chatbots in addressing diverse student needs, particularly in Nigerian universities, remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the potential of AI-powered chatbots to enhance student support services at Taraba State University.
