ABSTRACT
When we began the CIRCSIM-Tutor project in 1987, we hadtwo goals clearly in mind: (a) learn enough about experthuman tutoring so that we could build a model for a computer tutor capable of carrying out one-on-one tutoring using a natural language dialogue, and (b) actually build such a tutor and use it in the classroom with students. In the preceding chapters, we have described what we needed to learn about human tutoring, how we learned it, and what we have been able to implement. Now we want to tell you about our experiences using CIRCSIM-Tutor in the classroom.
