Ogan, Amy; Aleven, Vincent; Jones, Christopher – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2009
Most successes in intelligent tutoring systems have come in well-defined domains like algebra or physics. We investigate how to support students in acquiring ill-defined skills of intercultural competence using an online environment that employs clips of feature films from a target culture. To test the effectiveness of a set of attention-focusing…
