BUILDING INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS

Abstract

This project’s goal was to improve the ASSISTments intelligent tutoring system’s algebraic capabilities. We worked towards three main objectives. First, we built support for parsing expressions and comparing them for algebraic equality. Second, we implemented an interactive grapher capable of plotting a variety of expressions. Third, we added support for rendering expressions to well formatted images. Finally, we implemented a basic tutoring system including sample problems that demonstrate our work, establishing our tools’ usability and integrability.
