Intelligent tutoring systems
TLDR
Computer tutors based on a set of pedagogical principles derived from the ACT theory of cognition have been developed for teaching students to do proofs in geometry and to write computer programs in the language LISP.Abstract:
Cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer technology have advanced to the point where it is feasible to build computer systems that are as effective as intelligent human tutors Computer tutors based on a set of pedagogical principles derived from the ACT theory of cognition have been developed for teaching students to do proofs in geometry and to write computer programs in the language LISPread more

Cognitive Tutors: Lessons Learned
TL;DR: The 10-year history of tutor development based on the advanced computer tutoring (ACT) theory is reviewed, finding that a new system for developing and deploying tutors is being built to achieve the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards for high-school mathematics in an urban setting.

Tutoring rules for guiding a case method dialogue
TL;DR: This paper describes the rule-based formalism used by MYCIN-like programs, and argues that these programs are not sufficient in themselves as teaching tools, and claims that it is desirable to represent teaching expertise explicitly, using a flexible framework that makes it possible to easily modify tutorial strategies and communicate them to other researchers.

Optimizing the Learning of a Second-Language Vocabulary.
TL;DR: Four optimization strategies are proposed and evaluated experimentally to optimize the learning of a large German-English vocabulary; these strategies are computer controlled and take account of S's response history in making decisions about which items to present next.

The acquisition of procedures from text: A production-system analysis of transfer of training
David E. Kieras,Susan Bovair +1 more
TL;DR: Apparently, this transfer mechanism acts on declarative propositional representations of the production rules, suggesting that it is more similar to comprehension processes than to conventional practice mechanisms, or to Anderson’s learning principles.
