Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating a virtual learning environment comprising a three-dimensional interactive virtual environment. The virtual learning environment includes at least one student avatar related to a user and a second avatar that functions as an automated tutor. The automated tutor is powered by an AI processor and machine learning to generate interactive real-time responses in response to queries input by the user.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating, by use of a processor, a virtual learning environment comprising a three-dimensional interactive virtual environment that generates a three-dimensional learning space,
- generating at least one three-dimensional student avatar related to a user within the three-dimensional learning space and generates a second three-dimensional avatar within the three-dimensional learning space, wherein the second three-dimensional avatar functions as an automated tutor;
- generating a student database that stores data and information about the user, wherein the data and information about the user determines a teaching level for the automated tutor;
- generating a teacher database that stores training materials including course materials, recorded video lectures, audio clips, written notes, assignments, or lesson plans related to a real-life teacher, and wherein the training materials are used to train the automated tutor to clone a voice of the real-life teacher and use the voice for the automated tutor, and wherein the training materials are used to train the automated tutor to mimic a teaching style of the real-life teacher;
- wherein the automated tutor is powered by an AI processor and machine learning to generate interactive real-time responses in response to queries input by the user, and wherein the AI processor utilizes a plurality of stored training materials to generate responses that are presented by the second three-dimensional avatar;
- generating a series of questions to the three-dimensional student avatar of the user and storing responses to the series of questions;
- evaluating the responses using advanced natural language processing techniques and machine learning algorithms, wherein evaluating the responses includes evaluating an accuracy, depth, and context of the responses;
- and
- after evaluating the responses, providing feedback to the user and developing a plan of materials to be shown by the automated tutor to the user.
