Presentation. distance learning
Distance education involves teaching methods and technologies that allow instructors and students to be physically separated. It dates back to the 1700s but relied heavily on correspondence in the early modern period. The development of open universities in the late 19th century expanded access to education. Advances like radio, television, and the internet have allowed asynchronous and synchronous distance learning methods. Institutions adopt distance education to expand access, earn revenue, ease capacity constraints, and transform through innovation. The University of the Philippines Open University is an example that primarily uses online learning to reach students across the country.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
