How I Embedded an AI Chatbot into a Rise 360 Course
This interactive course demonstrates how an AI-powered teaching assistant can be embedded directly into a Rise 360 experience.
Please let me know what you think of the live demo
Built with GPT-4o, LangChain, FAISS, and Streamlit, the assistant retrieves content from Teaching in a Digital Age by Dr. Tony Bates and answers learner questions in real time.
You can try the assistant directly within the course to see how AI can support self-paced learning by offering just-in-time help, contextual answers, and scalable support—without the need for live facilitation.
This project showcases how instructional designers can combine low-code tools and open content to build smarter, more responsive digital learning environments.
If you’re interested, I’d happily share a short Loom walkthrough explaining how it was built.

That was brilliant. The answers were spot on. I loved everything about it! You are 100% right that this could help reinforce dense learning or summarize critical points. Bravo. I'd love to see a short walkthrough explaining how it was built.
Arcur, thank you for checking it out. It's so cool, I've been expanding its functionality to operate in debug mode, for testing purposes, where I get it to provide references to the different pieces of source material it uses in constructing an answer. I will work on putting a video together. :)
Cyd, thank you! In this case, the book was a good choice as it was open source. Other applications include an employee training manual (based on Creative Commons or Internal IP). I will work on a solution walk-through, and will keep you posted :) I'm so happy to see some interest!
This is great Gary! This would be so helpful, can see it useful in a variety of ways. So one just needs to make sure the source text is open source. Would love to see a short walk through video posted.
