Launch of the Virtual Assistant’s tutoring chatbot

Have you already signed up to participate in the MOOC on virtual assistance that we recently launched? Do you want to solidify your knowledge with daily training? Do you prefer shorter and more dynamic lessons? Do you want to learn more about remote work from your cell phone? We are very happy to announce that in parallel to the MOOC, we have also developed a tutoring chatbot to accompany you in this process of becoming a successful virtual assistant!

Chatbots are computer programs using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to simulate human behaviour and interact with people automatically. In simple words, they are conversational robots operating over a messaging app that can answer many users’ questions. As a microlearning tool, they have all the tools needed to deliver pieces of information and evaluate whether learners understand the information given.

CHATBOT ADVANTAGES

  • Learning at a more adapted rhythm depending on learners’ answers by offering them complementary information when it is needed
  • Mobile learning experience
  • Small study lessons to ensure a more regular lesson reviewing
  • Inclusiveness for readers with SLDs thanks to the delivery of short and timely pieces of information

The Virtual Assistant’s tutoring chatbot aim is to tutor MOOC, VET learners and active digital services providers in developing their skills and knowledge related to Virtual Assistants competencies and in integrating them into their daily practice. It will help you to learn to identify the profile of a Virtual Assistant and lead you to the first steps to becoming a great one.
