The People who Work on this Project
- Neil Heffernan
- My Ph.D. Adviser Kenneth Koedinger
who helped create Cognitive Tutor
Algebra which was named one of the five Exemplary Programs by the U.S.
Dept of Education.
- Ms. Cristina Lindquist was the expert human tutor we video taped. The
tutor is named after her. She is now Mrs. Heffernan! However, I must say that
my wife is a much better tutor then the software!
- You! If you are a teacher, or researcher, and would like to help on this
project, send me an email. One volunteer is going to translate Ms. Lindquist
into Portuguese. We always need more problems. If you are a researcher and
would like to collaborate, send me some email and we can talk.
