Background of the Study
E-tutoring platforms have emerged as a promising solution to address the limitations of traditional face-to-face tutoring by offering online academic support to students. AI-based e-tutoring platforms use intelligent systems to deliver personalized tutoring experiences, provide real-time feedback, and adapt to students' learning needs. These platforms can assess students’ learning styles and performance levels and tailor the tutoring sessions accordingly, thereby providing an interactive and customized learning experience. This study investigates the potential of AI-based e-tutoring platforms in improving academic performance at Sokoto State University, Sokoto State, by offering personalized learning and on-demand academic support to students.
Statement of the Problem
At Sokoto State University, students often face challenges in understanding complex academic concepts, especially in large classes where individual attention is limited. Traditional tutoring methods may not be sufficient to meet the diverse learning needs of all students. AI-based e-tutoring platforms can offer scalable, personalized tutoring services that address individual learning gaps. However, the effectiveness and implementation of such platforms in a university setting remain underexplored. This study seeks to investigate the potential benefits of AI-powered e-tutoring platforms in improving student academic performance and overall learning experience at Sokoto State University.
