AutoPrompt: A Desktop Application for Designing Micro-Lectures using Micro-Prompt Strategy for Online Education Systems

The micro-prompt* strategy balances several complex pedagogical tradeoffs hence found helpful in designing assignment free micro-lectures (MIL). Manual implementation of this strategy is time-consuming and may introduce human errors. This research is the answer to these problems. This research presents a desktop application entitled "AutoPrompt". This application helps in designing assignment free micro-lectures using the micro-prompt strategy by automating the MIL design process. The complete reference architecture of the proposed application is discussed in detail in this paper. To judge our application's quality, we conducted a software testing program and found satisfying results, including some precious feedback. The details of the testing program, results and feedbacks are also presented in this paper. We believe that the reference architecture proposed in this paper helps researchers and software developers to design more sophisticated applications for online educators and learners.
