The Andes Physics Tutoring System: Five Years of Evaluations

Abstract

Andes is a mature intelligent tutoring system that has helped hundreds of students improve their learning of university physics. It replaces pencil and paper problem solving homework. Students continue to attend the same lectures, labs and recitations. Five years of experimentation at the United States Naval Academy indicates that it significantly improves student learning. This report describes the evaluations and what was learned from them.
