Neil Yorke-Smith, Stijn Heymans, Vinay Chaudhri

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Our aim is for intelligent tutoring agents to replace traditional and even online textbooks with personalized, adaptive, one-to-one instruction. We focus on science subjects, and describe an approach to answering hypothetical questions from the student, such as "Would cellular respiration continue in the absence of oxygen?"
