interdisciplinary research team are focused on improving student learning outcomes, which is why they are also continuously collecting data about what people are doing and what is happening to them during the learning process./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/nThis includes tracking their eye movements across the screen, monitoring their facial expressions of emotions and interactions and dialogue with the four avatars. The team also monitors the physiological responses of each participant during complex learning./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
These data about how students examine and react to content can then be entered back into the system to improve the tool/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/u2019s educational effectiveness./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
For example, the data can predict and select what material is more likely to be associated with students/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/u2019 current learning goals or offer a better way to examine and learn the material based on how students used their eyes to scan multimedia instructional materials./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
In the future, the data being collected will allow the AI-based learning and training system to provide real-time, individualized feedback and support to meet each student/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/u2019s learning needs, Azevedo says./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
The tool is currently designed to teach college students about human body systems, but knowledge gleaned from researching it as a learning tool could be applied to educational material for other fields as well. Research has focused on college students but could eventually include testing the system with high school and middle school students as well as medical professionals./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
Work on MetaTutor began in 2010, and the research has been supported with National Science Foundation grants through the years that total $4 million, as well as funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
Azevedo/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/u2019s research has shown that 73 to 86 percent of people who use the AI-based version of MetaTutor outperform people who use the non-AI based version that does not adapt to the user./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
A version of MetaTutor is currently being used in Spain to teach college students with learning disabilities, and Azevedo says there are plans to expand its reach, including designing a version for high school and middle school students to fit their curriculum needs./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/101436/n
