#Adote Project, Artificial intelligence, Microbiology, EducationAbstract
Here, we aimed to develop and validate the Conecta#Adote platform, which integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into the #Adote project to centralize, organize, and analyze content produced by students on social media. The platform, designed with a modular architecture, incorporates AI tools and function as a repository and environment for automated analyses. For validation, we used as a pilot the posts from the Neisseria group of the “Adopt a Bacterium” activity in the Bacteriology course (Biomedical Sciences program – USP). The posts were imported into the platform, which performed content analyses including term counting, identification of biological vocabulary, and word cloud generation. The results demonstrated the technical feasibility of integrating AI and active methodology, as well as the potential of Conecta#Adote to enhance the efficiency of educational data management. We conclude that Conecta#Adote modernize microbiology teaching by combining AI and active learning methodologies, establishing itself as an innovative tool for hybrid education.
