student enrollments. Our long term vision is to evolve this technologyinto a nuanced AI teaching assistant / tutor, capable of using concept maps and regular conceptquizzes, guiding students through their academic journeys across various courses.Working towards this ambitious goal, we have segmented the project into smaller, manageablesub-projects. Each of these sub-projects not only stands on its own merit, providing immediatebenefits, but also contributes valuable insights into the development of a holistic AI-basedteaching assistant. This approach allows us to methodically build towards our larger objectivewhile continuously evaluating and refining our methods. Similarly, we’ve found that workingwith generative AI tools like ChatGPT is as much
