Background

These tools manage “conversations” for use with a chat-style web interface created as part of the “Improving the transition and retention of regional students from low−socioeconomic backgrounds: A ‘5Ps’ approach” project.

The chat interface receives the conversation script in a JSON data file. Each question follows one of the two following patterns:

Authoring the conversation script is usually done in an Excel spreadsheet with the following columns:

• Question ID

• Question Text

• Responses (either a list of responses, or “{text}” indicating that this is a text answer question).

• Response 1 Result detailing the info and destination question of the first response

• Response 2 Result detailing the info and destination question of the second response

• similar responses for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9
