Abstract

Carnegie Learning’s Cognitive Tutors for mathematics have been the subject of a wide variety of research [3,4] and are the most widely deployed Intelligent Tutoring Systems. Currently, over 560,000 students and 2,700 schools in all 50 United States are using them. Many ITS researchers understand these tutors from printed works but have not had the opportunity to use the tutors in a hands-on fashion.
