• In Event: D&D - Virtual and Intellegent Tutoring Systems

Short Description

A Virtual Tutee System (VTS) has been developed to enhance college students’ reading engagement and performance. Previously three studies have been conducted using the VTS. In the current study, changes in the VTS design were made to improve the learning-by-teaching effects. This paper reports a pilot study that explored whether the revisions made in the VTS augmented the tutoring effects. The findings of the study supported the positive impact of the VTS.
