AI Focus Group at Merced College
Help Us Shape the Future of Transfer Tools!
We are developing an innovative AI-powered tool to assist students with navigating academic pathways and transferring to four-year institutions. This tool, integrated with the Program Pathway Mapper, uses a large language model (LLM) to provide personalized guidance and answers to your academic questions.
We’re looking for students to participate in a focus group to test our prototype and help us understand how this tool can best serve your needs. Your feedback will help us improve the tool’s accuracy and user-friendliness, ensuring it meets the needs of students like you.
By joining the focus group, you’ll get a chance to try out the tool, ask questions, and share your thoughts on what works and what can be improved. Your input will directly shape the future of academic advising for students at Merced College and beyond!
