Abstract

This paper explores the development of an Intelligent Educational Agent (IEA) with a focus on enhancing the learning experience for university students. In an era where online education is on the rise, there is a growing demand for personalized learning tools. IEAs, powered by artificial intelligence, offer a solution by providing tailored support, explanations, answers to queries, and content adaptation. This study leverages advanced AI technologies, including the LangChain framework and the GPT-3.5 Turbo model from OpenAI, to create an adaptive educational assistant. LangChain facilitates Natural Language Processing and information analysis, while GPT-3.5 Turbo ensures context-aware responses through prompt-tuning. The research methodology involves defining functional requirements, implementing the LangChain framework for NLP, integrating the OpenAI API, and establishing an architecture with three main actors: students, teachers, and tutors/assistants. Results indicate the IEA’s ability to generate precise multiple-choice tests and comprehensive academic plans. The system exhibits contextual understanding and resource generation capabilities. In conclusion, despite challenges like data quality and infrastructure requirements, developing an IEA for content adaptation based on large language models shows great promise. It has the potential to revolutionize education by providing personalized learning experiences and generating educational resources. Collaboration among education experts, developers, and researchers is crucial to fully harness this transformative potential.
