Fletcher, J. D. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2018
Computer technology has been used for over 50 years to tailor learning experiences to the needs and interests of individual learners at all levels of instruction. It provides adaptation and individualization that is difficult, if not impossible to apply in a classroom of 20-30 students. This article provides a brief background and discussion about…

Fossati, Davide; Di Eugenio, Barbara; Ohlsson, Stellan; Brown, Christopher; Chen, Lin – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2015
Based on our empirical studies of effective human tutoring, we developed an Intelligent Tutoring System, iList, that helps students learn linked lists, a challenging topic in Computer Science education. The iList system can provide several forms of feedback to students. Feedback is automatically generated thanks to a Procedural Knowledge Model…

Lajoie, Susanne P. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2010
A primary driver for pursuing the development of technology based adaptive tutoring is an attempt to replicate the effects of one-to-one tutoring with human tutors (Bloom, 1984). This paper situates the discussion of adaptive tutoring in the context of a theory-driven approach to the design of specific cognitive tools. Different methods exist to…

Scandura, Joseph M. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2011
More and more things that humans used to do can be automated on computer. In each case, complex tasks have been automated -- not to the extent that they can be done as well as humans, but better. I will draw and develop parallels to education -- showing how and why advances in the Structural Learning Theory (SLT) and the AuthorIT development and…
