3.  Automatic Answering tool for e-learning systems

The aim of this tool is to reduce lecturers’ work load and to give an immediate answer to the student (when possible) by exploring the cumulative experiences from previous students’ answers for the benefit of new ones. It is well known that in every learning session of a given course, students may ask the same questions and that tutors (who may be different) may answer the same answers.

Our approach consists of storing questions/answers (with the permission of the tutor) in a data base.

If any e-mail’s similarity occurs regarding asked and/or answered questions, the tool tries to search for this information in the data base and answers automatically the student by giving him the stored data. Otherwise, the question will be submitted to the tutor.
