Products and publications
Products: Products of this development project include a fully developed, web-based intelligent tutoring system, SimStudent, designed to support student mastery of linear equations. Additionally, a meta-tutor will be developed that monitors students' suggestions for SimStudent and provides scaffolded feedback to the students. Published reports of the research findings will also be produced.
