The Education Dominance Program will
enable students to learn at their own
pace, in their own style, with their
own Digital Tutor. In this way, students
will not simply memorize information,
but they will learn and understand the
concepts upon which this information
is built.
They will train to a standard of competence,
not rote recall, in order to demonstrate
significant improvements in mastery of
complex concepts. Novices trained on
Digital Tutor will acquire accelerated
problem-solving capabilities with the
goal being to enable them to be competitive
with experienced operational experts.
Education Dominance focuses on several
key approaches:
- Replicating expert tutor behavior
using knowledge engineering techniques.
- Modeling intrinsic motivation and
memory to optimize learning and consolidation.
- Building student/tutor models based
on abstractions of a wide range of
student behaviors with live tutors.
- Incorporating remediation strategies
to enable the Digital Tutor to provide
targeted reinforcement.
