Lysenko, Larysa; Abrami, Philip C.; Wade, C. Anne – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2022
This paper explores factors to increase the likelihood that the implementation of ABRACADABRA, a technology-based approach to teaching and learning literacy, endures and expands beyond the initial research. Started as a pilot study in 12 classrooms, the implementation spread to more than 500 primary classrooms over six years in five areas of…

Blessing, Stephen B.; Gilbert, Stephen B.; Ourada, Stephen; Ritter, Steven – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2009
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) that employ a model-tracing methodology have consistently shown their effectiveness. However, what evidently makes these tutors effective, the cognitive model embedded within them, has traditionally been difficult to create, requiring great expertise and time, both of which come at a cost. Furthermore, an…
