Abstract :
The field of intelligent tutoring received a boost this May, when the US Department of Education awarded $2 million to Massachusetts´ Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Carnegie Mellon University. The four-year grant will help researchers at the two schools refine Assistment (www.assistment.org), an intelligent tutor for middle-school mathematics. Like other intelligent tutoring systems, Assistment tailors its instruction to individual students, using embedded AI functionality to provide feedback and assistance - all without human overseers.
