These goals have carried the project to its current state. This can be seen by looking at the applications we have used confab on to date. Our ambition is to show the feasiblity of running a 7x24 helpdesk site using a mixture of human and software agents. We are experimenting with such a site to support students taking Java courses. What we have so far is a confab system that allows students to login when they have a course related question.
Human staff are available at posted hours to meet with students online.
Download the confab system, and assoicated bots, and use it in your course. Become part of the larger 7x24 effort. We are looking for volunteers to help staff the confab system we are running. We are hoping to gather a world-wide group to provide help around the clock. Write a new bot.
