Learning by teaching simstudent - Interactive event

Conference item

SimStudent is an educational software infrastructure which is designed to leverage the tutor effect in an on-line learning environment. Tutor effect is the phenomenon that students learn when they teach others. SimStudent allows students to learn by teaching a computer agent instead of their peers. SimStudent is a lively computer agent that inductively learns skills through its own tutored-problem solving experience. SimStudent is integrated into an on-line learning environment where students can interactively tutor SimStudent in how to solve equations [1]. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
