Electronixtutor integrates multiple learning resources to teach electronics on the web

Abstract

ElectronixTutor is a new Intelligent Tutoring System for electronics that integrates multiple intelligent learning resources, including AutoTutor, Dragoon, LearnForm, ASSISTments, and BEETLE-II, as well as Point & Query hotspots on diagrams and numerous text documents on the subject of electronics. ElectronixTutor's student model contains a set of electronics knowledge components (e.g., "transistor behavior"), each of which are taught by multiple learning resources. ElectronixTutor also features a recommender system, which suggests topics and resources for the student to try based on the student model. ElectronixTutor uses a Moodle interface, and is accessible to anyone via a web browser. Currently, ElectronixTutor is being tested by undergraduate electronics students before supplementing Naval Apprentice Technician Training coursework in the fall of 2018.
