ELT: Building an Intelligent Tutoring System to Assess Learner Performance

• In Event: Roundtables Wed2
  In Roundtable Session: ELT - Roundtables Wed2

Short Description

An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) acts much like a human tutor does, providing feedback when a learner enters an incorrect answer and making hints available for the learner to access when the learner needs assistance. The flexibility of the ITS is what makes it unique and differentiates it from other types of tutoring systems, such as computer-based training or computer-aided instruction. The data collected from the ITS is also beneficial for assessing learner performance.
