"What If There Was No Oxygen?": Responding to Hypothetical Questions in an Intelligent Tutoring Agent
Abstract
Our aim is for intelligent tutoring agents to replace traditional and even online textbooks with personalized, adaptive, one-to-one instruction. We focus on science subjects, and describe an approach to answering hypothetical questions from the student, such as "Would cellular respiration continue in the absence of oxygen?" Categories and Subject Descriptors I.2.11 [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE]: Distributed Artificial Intelligence-Intelligent agents.
