Cognitive Tutors

Cognitive Tutors are intelligent computer-based learning systems designed to adapt to individual students' understanding and problem-solving skills. They provide personalized guidance, feedback, and support while students work through subjects like math or science. Using principles from cognitive science, these tutors analyze students’ actions, identify misunderstandings, and tailor instruction to improve learning outcomes. Essentially, they act like a skilled tutor, adjusting their teaching in real-time to help students grasp concepts more effectively and develop deeper understanding.
