This paper is definitely worth reading for the literature reeview, which is a comprehensive survey of recent work in chatbots in an educational context. The study is less useful, primarily (in my opinion) because the author was limited by the use of a rule-based chatbot, which allows only for rudimentary capabilities. That said, "ECs as tutor support did facilitate teamwork and cognitive outcomes that support project-based learning in design education." Additionally, "it is worth noting that the embodiment of ECs as a learning assistant does create openness in interaction and interpersonal relationships among peers, especially if the task were designed to facilitate these interactions." Images were pretty low quality; that should really be fixed.
