Growing ACTR for Cross-Disciplinary Experiential Learning and Research

This project focuses on developing and expanding the AI Chatbot for Teaching and Learning Innovation (ACTR), an integrated platform embedded within Qualtrics and Canvas. The platform aims to provide interactive, data-driven learning experiences by deploying specialized AI agents for negotiation simulations, specifically designed to advance Course Intended Learning Outcomes. The project will be integrated into the Business School curriculum—specifically within courses such as MGMT2110 (Intro to Organizational Behavior) and MGMT3140 (Negotiations)—collectively serving as a testbed for over 1,000 students annually. While initially implemented in the Business School, the project maintains a cross-disciplinary vision and is designed to scale its deployment to other fields, including the Humanities, Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
