Meet Silly: A Syllabus Chatbot Demo

Silly is a custom PlayLab chatbot designed to answer questions using Professor Scott James’s Educational Technology syllabus. It illustrates how an instructor can give students another way to find course information.

Try a Sample Question

• What does this syllabus say about assignments?

• Where can I find information about getting help?

• Which part of the syllabus supports your answer?

Use this as a demonstration, not the authoritative source for a current course. Check answers against the actual syllabus and Canvas announcements. If information is missing or unclear, contact the instructor.

PlayLab states that app creators can review usage. Do not enter personal information, student records, grades, or private accommodation details.
