Maniktala, Mehak; Cody, Christa; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2020
Within intelligent tutoring systems, considerable research has investigated hints, including how to generate data-driven hints, what hint content to present, and when to provide hints for optimal learning outcomes. However, less attention has been paid to "how" hints are presented. In this paper, we propose a new hint delivery mechanism…

VanLehn, Kurt – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
Although the Andes project produced many results over its 18 years of activity, this commentary focuses on its contributions to understanding how a goal-free user interface impacts the overall design and performance of a step-based tutoring system. Whereas a goal-aligned user interface displays relevant goals as blank boxes or empty locations that…

McLaren, Bruce M.; Adams, Deanne M.; Mayer, Richard E. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2015
Erroneous examples--step-by-step problem solutions with one or more errors for students to find and fix--hold great potential to help students learn. In this study, which is a replication of a prior study (Adams et al. 2014), but with a much larger population (390 vs. 208), middle school students learned about decimals either by working with…

Aleven, Vincent; McLaren, Bruce M.; Sewall, Jonathan; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2009
The Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT) support creation of a novel type of tutors called example-tracing tutors. Unlike other types of ITSs (e.g., model-tracing tutors, constraint-based tutors), example-tracing tutors evaluate student behavior by flexibly comparing it against generalized examples of problem-solving behavior. Example-tracing…
