Using Conversational Agents to Broaden Participation in Computing

views comments

Conversational agents such as Alexa and Siri have brought this type of

technology to the everyday household. However, these agents also provide

interactions. This presentation will provide details on multiple projects (in

progress and completed) that leverage various types of conversational

agents to address issues in the area of broadening participation in

computing.
