About

K. M. Asif Shahriar is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology and human-computer interaction, with a primary focus on enhancing the scalability and accessibility of online learning. His most cited work, "When Robots Talk - Improving the Scalability of Practical Assignments in MOOCs Using Chatbots" (2018), explores the innovative use of conversational agents to automate and personalize feedback in massive open online courses (MOOCs). This contribution addresses a critical bottleneck in digital education—how to provide meaningful, individualized support to thousands of learners simultaneously—and has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its relevance to the growing field of AI-enhanced pedagogy. Shahriar’s research demonstrates a practical commitment to bridging the gap between automated systems and human learning needs, offering a scalable solution that reduces instructor workload while maintaining student engagement. His work is particularly notable for its focus on practical assignments, a domain often neglected in MOOC design, and for its early adoption of chatbot technology in educational contexts. As a researcher, Shahriar continues to explore how intelligent systems can democratize education, making his contributions valuable for educators, instructional designers, and technologists seeking to improve online learning outcomes.
