Project Outcomes

This study aims to develop an effective AI-powered companion tool for OER to enhance engagement, reduce stress, and improve learning performance. Grounded in motivational learning theories and behavioral data analysis, the tool will be designed to support adaptive learning experiences. Findings will contribute to student retention and optimized learning and inform broader OER innovations and instructional practices.
