AI Science Tutors Never Get Tired - George A. Clowes, School Reform News
No matter how many times a student asks a Quantum Tutor to go over a chemistry or physical science problem, the tireless tutor won’t get frustrated or irritated about having to explain the material all over again. That’s because the nine Quantum Tutors available from Holt, Rinehart and Winston are Artificial Intelligence Tutors, the latest three being released in January. “These new Quantum Tutors will give teachers another level of learning support to help students with difficult concepts in chemistry and physical science,” said Judy Fowler, Holt president. For students who need personal coaching to develop a better grasp of complex science concepts and for teachers, the Tutors provide an on-demand, Web-based educational resource that may be used in class, in the computer lab, or at home at any time.
