In this video, I will explain about the Virtual Assistant feature
and how to utilize it effectively.
Let us start by understanding what the virtual assistant is.
The Virtual Assistant resides in the Discussions section
if it is enabled by the instructor.
It is an AI assistant that is trained on the course material
and answers relevant questions if its answer is found in the course material.
You can go to the discussion section when you have a question on the subject.
Once you post a question and tag the instructor.
The virtual assistant starts working.
The virtual assistant will review the question and check if its answers
are covered in the course material.
If so, the assistant will reply to the question.
You can ask questions about definitions and concepts covered
in the learning material, and the virtual assistant will answer them
and provide a link to the source.
You can click on the provided links to review the relevant material.
If you ask questions outside the scope of the course material,
the virtual assistant will not provide a relevant answer.
If you do not get a relevant answer from the assistant, you can wait for
the instructor to reply.
While the virtual assistant is not a replacement for instructors,
they are a quick and effective way to help the instructor clear doubts
within the course material.
