Software Tutors Fulfilling Curriculum Topics
نویسنده
چکیده
Web-based tutoring is very similar to computer-based tutoring with the additional issues of response or download time. This paper addresses if there are software tutors that cover the spectrum of educational subjects. A mapping is presented of top-level Core Knowledge curriculum topics for grades K through 5 with commercially available computer-based tutors. Some of the tutors would be considered ‘intelligent’ because of the very basic student model represented by a listing of completed sections or information in the tutor. Most of the topics have at least one tutor that teaches or contains the subject matter. This paper also specifies topics that are not well covered by existing tutors and compares the coverage to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills topics.
