This paper describes the experimental implementation of a centralized log management system based on the open-source Wazuh platform, developed within the context of Universidade Aberta. The main goal was to study and configure a distributed solution capable of consolidating and monitoring security data from multiple sources, contributing to the early detection of anomalies and the strengthening of institutional...
This article presents the development of an open-source educational chatbot prototype for student support at Universidade Aberta. Combining large language models (LLM) with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and integration with structured databases, the system responds to academic queries on courses, curriculum and administrative processes. Its modular architecture, classification and generation models, and ...

Universities must have the aspiration to become key institutions in this new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), as generators of knowledge, science and research, promoting the democratisation of knowledge. Also, management in Higher Education must increase faculty readiness for e-learning changes, particularly since e-learning remains essential to maintaining curriculum delivery during emergencies and crises....
This position paper emphasizes the critical role of professional training in facilitating the effective adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) in the corporate world. GenAI, with its ability to create new content from existing data, holds immense potential for transforming business processes, enhancing decision-making, and driving innovation. However, the adoption of GenAI faces significant challenges, including a s...
In an era characterized by rapid proliferation of scientific publications and overwhelming volumes of digital content, researchers, students, and faculty members face significant challenges in identifying literature relevant to their academic pursuits. This saturation of information has heightened the need for advanced Recommender Systems within university libraries, tailored specifically for navigating and dis...
A investigação sobre o feedback e a autorregulação da aprendizagem tem granjeado interesse com a explosão da Inteligência Artificial e os desafios que coloca à educação e, em particular, à avaliação dos estudantes. Contudo, há mais de 30 anos que se estudam esses processos para compreender como os estudantes regulam a sua própria aprendizagem ao nível motivacional, cognitivo e metacognitivo. Ao assumirem um pap...
Hybrid teaching, which integrates traditional in-person learning based on students’ perspectives where online learning offers a flexible approach to education, combines the benefits of technology with face-to-face interactions. Moreover, teaching and learning in a hybrid way met several challenges for both teachers and learners, including technological problems, time management, communication difficulties, and ...
Traditional approaches in the competitive recruitment landscape frequently encounter difficulties in effectively identifying exceptional applicants, resulting in delays, increased expenses, and biases. This study proposes the utilisation of contemporary technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and chatbots to automate the process of resume screening, thereby diminishing prejudices and enhancing communi...
