Designing Educational Personas using Generative AI

Abstract

In this paper, the use of generative AI for creating educational personas is presented. Prior to the appearance of generative AI, conversational AI was used to enhance educational environments with the use of technologies such as chatbots. Generative AI brings a new dimension as it allows for the creation and use of personas mimicking real people, historical figures, and even fictional characters. Such designs potentially bring a new immersive and interactive dimension to learning, but further research is required to understand the full potential of these technologies. In this paper, the experiences and challenges in appropriating language learning models to act as potential educational personas are described.
