English language learners often face challenges due to the lack of immediate feedback on their presentation skills. With support from the Department of EEE, the Library has introduced NinjOrAItor at the One Button Studios on the 3rd floor of the Library. NinjOrAItor leverages AI technology to assess English oral presentations, enabling students to practise and receive instant feedbacks such as clarity, content analysis, appropriateness, facial expressions, eye contact, and common pronunciation errors. This comprehensive system empowers students to leverage generative AI to further develop and refine their presentation skills. In addition to AI-generated evaluations, the platform also encourages self-assessment, prompting students to reflect critically and gain deeper insights into their performance.

Come visit and try it out! You can book the studios through the Library iBooking system or using the Library Mobile App.
