Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Collaborative Learning: Enhancements to Authoring Tools
Olsen, Jennifer K.; Belenky, Daniel M.; Aleven, Vincent; Rummel, Nikol
Grantee Submission, Paper presented at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (16th, Memphis, TN, Jul 9-13, 2013)
Collaborative and individual instruction may support different types of knowledge. Optimal instruction for a subject domain may therefore need to combine these two modes of instruction. There has not been much research, however, on combining individual and collaborative learning with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). A first step is to expand ITSs for collaborative learning. This paper investigates the expansion of the Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools to include collaborative components for example-tracing tutors. The tools were enhanced to support flexible use of collaboration scripts so different learning goals can be supported. We introduce the collaboration features supported and describe an initial pilot study using the new features in a fractions ITS.
