This session offers a fast, practical look at building custom student-facing bots that support real learning instead of producing “slop.” Using CapBot (a bot for my Capstone course that provides more general feedback and help with assignments) and CapBot PA (a bot that provides research paper assistance using my rubrics and APA guidelines), I’ll demo how rubric-aligned coaching, structured prompts, and strategic refusals guide students through revision, self-checking, and reflection while keeping the work theirs. I’ll also share how I designed the bots to support competence, autonomy, and relatedness, so students feel more capable, more in control, and more engaged with the course.#rubric-aligned feedback #custom bot #self-determination theory
