Tech meets biology: student perceptions on metanexusbot for learning metabolism and cell division

Metabolism and cell division are fundamental components of the BIO150 course within the Diploma in Science (AS120) programme. Despite their significance, many students struggle to comprehend these complex and abstract processes through traditional lecture-based approaches. With advancements in educational technology, AI-driven chatbots present new opportunities to enhance student engagement and provide personalized learning experiences. This study investigates student perceptions of MetaNexusBot, an AI-powered learning assistant, in facilitating the understanding of metabolism and cell division through the lens of the RASE model (Resources, Activities, Support, Evaluation).
