Developing chatbot for academic record monitoring in higher education institution
Abstract
Monitoring academic records at a higher education institution is highly needed by both students and parents of students. Although the system is usually already available in the form of a web site, but it is still considered too complicated because it must involve a troublesome authentication process, especially for parents. Nowadays, chat applications have been very widely used by the community both young people and even the elderly. There are many chat applications that are widely used including WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger. The chat application provides an Application Programming Interface (API) service for sending or receiving messages. Therefore, the API can be used to create applications (chatbot) that will serve users in the form of chat. In this study, chatbot was built using the services of Telegram. This is because sending messages via Telegram is free. The information to be served is information about students' attendance at lectures, grades, and financial records. With this application, a college can provide facilities for students or parents of students to view academic records easily, cheaply, and can be accessed anytime.
