Description

The Human Support tool lets learners request help straight from their mentorAI chat by creating a support ticket—without leaving the conversation. The ticket collects all relevant details, can be updated in real time, and appears in the admin dashboard where staff can track status, assign ownership, and resolve issues efficiently.


Target Audience

Student


Features

In‑Chat Ticket Creation

Learners ask mentorAI to open a ticket whenever they need extra assistance.

Real‑Time Ticket Updates

During the same chat, students can add new details (e.g., updated email addresses), and mentorAI appends them to the existing ticket.

Ticket Lookup for Learners

Students can ask the mentor to list their open or past tickets to keep track of progress.

Comprehensive Admin Dashboard

Staff view each ticket’s subject, user info, description, status (Open / In Progress / Closed), session ID, timestamps, and notification settings.


How to Use (step by step)

Enable the Tool (Instructor/Admin)

  • Open the mentor’s Settings
  • Select the Tools list
  • Locate Human Support (ticketing)
  • Toggle it On

Learner Workflow

Create a Ticket

Prompt:

I want to change the email address associated with my account. Can you create a support ticket for me?

mentorAI confirms and opens a new ticket.

Add Details

When prompted, the learner supplies more info:

The email I’d like to use is example@domain.com.

mentorAI updates the existing ticket.

Review Existing Tickets

Prompt:

What support tickets have been created for me?

mentorAI lists open and past tickets (e.g., password resets, login issues).


Admin View

Open the Ticket list in the dashboard.

For each ticket you can see:

  • Subject, User, and Description
  • Current Status (Open, In Progress, Closed)
  • Session ID linked to the chat where the issue was raised
  • Timestamps (created, resolved) and repetition log of updates
  • Option to assign a staff email to receive notifications

Pedagogical Use Cases

Account & Access Issues

Students quickly raise tickets for login problems or account changes without leaving their learning flow.

Course‑Specific Technical Support

Learners report broken links, assignment upload errors, or software‑tool glitches directly from the mentorAI chat.

Instructor Workload Management

Automated ticket creation funnels repetitive student questions (e.g., password resets) to support staff, freeing instructors to focus on teaching.

Audit Trail & Transparency

Ticket logs provide a clear record of what help was requested and when—useful for accreditation or quality‑assurance reviews.


Result

With Human Support enabled, learners can raise and track issues directly from chat, while instructors and admins maintain full visibility and control over ticket status and resolution—streamlining support and keeping learning uninterrupted.
