Actors:
- Faculty Members: Professors, lecturers, and other academic staff involved in curriculum planning.
- Administrative Assistants: Staff members who help organize meetings and follow up on action items.
- Friend AI Necklace: The AI-enabled necklace that records sound, transcribes conversations, and aids in organizing tasks.
Scenario
Pre-Meeting Preparation:
Faculty members and administrative assistants gather in a meeting room for a scheduled curriculum planning session. Each participant wears the Friend AI Necklace. The Friend AI Necklace is activated by a simple voice command, ready to record the meeting.
Meeting Commencement:
As the meeting starts, the Friend AI Necklace begins audio recording and live transcription in real-time. Discussions about course structures, educational strategies, and other important topics are accurately documented. Faculty members can signal important decisions through voice commands like "mark this" or "action item", prompting the AI to flag these sections in the transcription.
During the Meeting:
Discussions move towards the subject of updating the syllabus for an upcoming semester. A faculty member proposes a new course module which generates a stream of ideas and feedback from others. The AI transcribes these discussions, and smartly categorizes critical points such as suggestions, objections, and agreements. Faculty members request Friend AI Necklace to "create task" for various action items like "prepare course outline" or "research potential textbooks."
Post-Meeting Follow-Up:
The AI transcribes the entire meeting, summarizing the key topics discussed, decisions made, and individual tasks assigned. The summarized notes and flagged action items are sent to all meeting participants via email or uploaded to the faculty’s shared drive for easy access.
Implementation Monitoring:
Faculty members and administrative assistants can reference the AI-generated summaries to track progress on assigned tasks. The AI can remind participants about upcoming deadlines or follow-ups through personalized notifications.
AI Learning and Feedback:
As meetings continue over time, the Friend AI Necklace learns common terms, frequently discussed subjects, and preferences of individual faculty members to improve its transcription accuracy and relevance of its organizational features.
By seamlessly integrating into faculty meetings and curriculum planning sessions, the Friend AI Necklace ensures systematic documentation and effective follow-up on educational strategies and action items, enhancing the overall productivity and organization of STEM education faculties.
