VSP - Towards the Development of Affect- and Behavior-Sensitive Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Abstract

Towards the Development of Affect- and Behavior-Sensitive Intelligent Tutoring Systems:TECHNICAL: Intelligent tutoring systems enable computerized, self-paced, and individualized learning for students in a variety of domains. Recent efforts have attempted to model student affect while learning, including detecting when students are bored or confused. Dr. Rodrigo s research can help to enhance systems by modeling student affect during ITS usage. This could increase the efficacy and throughput of ITS systems through improved student learning. RELEVANCE: The US Navy and Marine Corps has long been a sponsor of ITS systems, including programs to teach Naval shiphandling and ship defense tactics. Visiting US PIs is the first step in discussing potential collaboration opportunities in research to improve ITS systems through student affect modeling. ONR/NRE/DOD COORDINATION: Dr. Ray Perez and CDR Brent Ruby (ONR34) are sponsoring grants to the researchers that Dr. Rodrigo will visit. OUTCOME: Slides from Dr. Rodrigo s talk, a trip report of activities, and a list of potential collaboration opportunities.
