BUILDING AI MICROCOURSE
Script a digital person using DDNA Studio from Soul Machines™
Use DialogFlow to create a more sophisticated conversational AI and use it to script a Soul Machines™ digital person.
This microcourse takes you through the process of setting up Google Dialogflow to connect to the Soul Machines™ DDNA Studio.
You will have set up Google Dialogflow in the Dialogflow microcourse.
Go back to Dialogflow to look at the settings ready for the next step.
Watch this video tutorial from Haileybury's Jeff Plumb on how to connect Dialogflow to DDNA Studio.
You'll learn about how DDNA Studio works and how to set up Dialogflow (which you saw in the Dialogflow microcourse) to create not just text conversations but conversations with a digital person. This is exactly how digital people that you can find on the internet work.
Now you can experiment with building more complex conversations and fine-tuning the settings of your digital person to make the experience better when you interact with your digital person.
Here are some questions to think about while you do.
Does making the answers from your digital person longer or shorter make a difference to the conversation?
Do the facial expressions you are able to set up for the digital person improve the conversation, and if so, why?
Can you think of some examples of applications where a digital person could be used effectively?
In the LEARNING CHALLENGE microcourse you will be able to choose from a variety of Learning Challenges where you can explore what is possible with your digital person.
In the AI EXPLORATORY microcourse you can choose to share your work with your digital person with other students.
PEDAGOGY, NOT TECHNOLOGY
Haileybury has always embraced technology for teaching and learning.
We see ourselves as innovators. High-speed WiFi, laptops and tablets, video and cloud-based services, along with our school-wide LMS Canvas, are all now part of our students’ everyday learning experiences - especially now as we teach remotely.
But the latest technology is not what matters.
What is important is technology that meets the needs of students and teachers. Technology that helps deliver outstanding learning experiences that fuel academic excellence.
