Hou, Xinying; Nguyen, Huy Anh; Richey, J. Elizabeth; Harpstead, Erik; Hammer, Jessica; McLaren, Bruce M. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Digital learning games are designed to foster both student learning and enjoyment. Given this goal, an interesting research topic is whether game mechanics that promote learning and those that promote enjoyment have different effects on students' experience and learning performance. We explored these questions in "Decimal Point," a…

Fancsali, Stephen E.; Holstein, Kenneth; Sandbothe, Michael; Ritter, Steven; McLaren, Bruce M.; Aleven, Vincent – Grantee Submission, 2020
Extensive literature in artificial intelligence in education focuses on developing automated methods for detecting cases in which students struggle to master content while working with educational software. Such cases have often been called "wheel-spinning," "unproductive persistence," or "unproductive struggle." We…

Holstein, Kenneth; McLaren, Bruce M.; Aleven, Vincent – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2019
Involving stakeholders throughout the creation of new educational technologies can help ensure their usefulness and usability in real-world contexts. However, given the complexity of learning analytics (LA) systems, it can be challenging to meaningfully involve non-technical stakeholders throughout their design and development. This article…

Help Helps, but Only so Much: Research on Help Seeking with Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Aleven, Vincent; Roll, Ido; McLaren, Bruce M.; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
Help seeking is an important process in self-regulated learning (SRL). It may influence learning with intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), because many ITSs provide help, often at the student's request. The Help Tutor was a tutor agent that gave in-context, real-time feedback on students' help-seeking behavior, as they were learning with an ITS.…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Holstein, Kenneth; McLaren, Bruce M.; Aleven, Vincent – Grantee Submission, 2019
As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly enters K-12 classrooms, what do teachers and students see as the roles of human versus AI instruction, and how might educational AI (AIED) systems best be designed to support these complementary roles? We explore these questions through participatory design and needs validation studies with K12 teachers…

Example-Tracing Tutors: Intelligent Tutor Development for Non-Programmers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Aleven, Vincent; McLaren, Bruce M.; Sewall, Jonathan; van Velsen, Martin; Popescu, Octav; Demi, Sandra; Ringenberg, Michael; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
In 2009, we reported on a new Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) technology, example-tracing tutors, that can be built without programming using the Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT). Creating example-tracing tutors was shown to be 4-8 times as cost-effective as estimates for ITS development from the literature. Since 2009, CTAT and its…
