In collaboration with NKU, the data scientist/developer will create a proof-of-concept version of an artificial intelligence-enabled virtual teaching assistant that can support the work of live professors and teaching assistants. The technology will be focused on a particular course to be selected by NKU, with AI learning materials provided by NKU (eg, course subject matter content). Using the interface, students will be able to interact with the virtual TA to ask questions and seek clarification on course material, providing additional support outside of regular class hours. The interface offers professors various advantages, including recommendations and references to fresh class materials to ensure timely and engaging content, support with grading, and metrics tracking student activity throughout the course. NKU requires an accelerated timeline for completion of this work, with initial testing and deployment as soon as possible in 2024. The successful respondent must have capacity to meet this timeline.
