Abstract:
In a society in continuous change due to the astonishing speed with which science and technology develop, the educational system must keep up with these changes and meet the students with effective learning methods integrated in intelligent platforms. In this respect, the paper proposed an e-learning platform whose underlying educational framework is built upon three studied principles that lead to efficient learning, namely: elaboration, retrieval practice and feedback. Furthermore, the core functionalities of the proposed tool consist of a question proposal system and quiz taking system, elements shaped based on active and collaborative learning. Nevertheless, the proposed tool’s learning authenticity is ensured by the dedicated voice assistant powered by Alexa and the integration with ChatGPT, an OpenAI product. As for the validity of the proposed solution, an ongoing study is in place. The study consists of integrating the proposed tool as part of the didactic activity for the Da
ta Structures course taken by 1st year students enrolled in the Mathematics and Computer Science undergraduate program offered by Babeş-Bolyai University (Cluj-Napoca, Romania).
