Quasi-experiment in Moroccan public schools with 109 secondary students in three classes: a control class using a traditional approach and two experimental classes using digital content and the chatbot-based method. The article reports preliminary findings that chatbot use enhanced the learning experience, "allowing them to study at their own speed with less stress". No effect sizes or test statistics are printed.
