Abstract

This paper provides evidence that an autonomous discussion forum facilitator (AD Bot) model using natural language processing and fuzzy logic can enhance student engagement in online discussion forums. This model promotes student-to-student and student-to-instructor engagement and increases knowledge attainment of subject topics discussed, where students receive timely feedback to their discussion post and exposure to relevant supplemental content. Ultimately, allowing a student to no longer perceive interaction within online discussion forums to be impersonal.
