Better eLearning with Chatbots 

Chatbots are apps built to interact with users as an autonomous messenger app i.e. Facebook messenger. As most people would assume, a chatbot is something only app developers can do. Luckily, that’s not the case today and anyone that can browse the Internet, can easily setup a chatbot with the use of several available authoring apps. Now imagine, what if you could gather information from your SMEs through a chatbot or what if you could enhance your eLearning content with a chatbot? These are questions that hold the promise of highly engaging learning experiences. In this session, we’ll discuss two powerful apps that required no knowledge of programming languages and won’t break your budget.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Identify two apps for easy chatbot development
• Explain the various uses and integrations of chatbots for L&D purposes
