The Reflection Coach chatbot is designed to help students delve deeper into their learning experiences, focusing on specific takeaways and supporting them with concrete evidence from their coursework.
This tool is particularly useful for preparing students to articulate their learning in professional contexts, such as job interviews.
Key Features:
Guided Reflection: The chatbot prompts students to connect their learning to course outcomes, encouraging them to think critically about their experiences.
Interactive Process: Students can start with various prompts, such as a single focus takeaway or a specific story, to kickstart their reflection.
Drafting Assistance: While the chatbot can draft reflections, its primary goal is to stimulate in-depth thinking before drafting.
Customization: Students can input their own thoughts and examples, allowing the chatbot to tailor its guidance to their specific experiences.
Usage Tips:
Microsoft Copilot is one of the worst AI models out there, so it may need more guidance from students than other models. It is a good opportunity to learn how to write for AI … not just with AI.
Be Detailed: Encourage students to provide as much detail as possible in their responses to get the most out of the chatbot's guidance.
Iterative Interaction: Students should feel free to switch topics or ask the chatbot to focus on different aspects of their learning.
Draft Refinement: Once a draft is generated, students can refine it by expanding sections or adjusting the focus to better suit their audience.
This approach not only aids in reflection but also teaches students how to effectively interact with AI, enhancing their readiness for a tech-driven world. If you have any feedback or encounter issues, feel free to share them for continuous improvement of the chatbot.
