Towards Automatically Building Tutor Models Using Multiple Behavior Demonstrations

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8474))

Abstract

Automation of tutor modeling can contribute to scalable development and maintenance of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). In this paper, we are proposing a modification to the process used to build Example Tracing tutors which are a widely used tutor model. Our approach automatically uses behavior demonstrations by multiple non-experts (such as learners) to create a partially annotated generalized tutor model.

This research was funded by the US Office of Naval Research (ONR) contract N00014-12-C-0535.
