Abstract:

Towards our goal of developing computer tutors that can collaborate with students on tasks in simulated environments, we have built a series of four prototype tutors. These tutors integrate two independent but related strands of research: intelligent tutoring systems and task-oriented dialogue systems. While the tutors share a core approach to teaching procedural tasks, each was designed to explore a different set of issues.
