Summary:This paper describes an artificial intelligence-based application for facilitating teacher learner interactions, and learner feedback and assessment in online engineering courses. The application reduces the amount of time a teacher has to spend answering questions, redirecting students to resources and assessing learning so that a larger number of students can be accommodated in an online course without forgoing interaction and feedback. The teacher still plays an important role in an online course, but the application helps the teacher to answer routine questions and provide necessary feedback. The application also gives more control to the learner to progress through the course in a self-paced manner thereby facilitating self-directed learning.
