Talk, Tutor, Explore, Learn: Intelligent Tutoring and Exploration for Robust Learning

It is widely acknowledged that many children have difficulty learning fractions. Accordingly, we are developing the iTalk2Learn system (www.italk2learn.eu), which aims to facilitate the robust learning of fractions by children in primary and early secondary education. The iTalk2Learn system integrates structured, practice-based tasks with exploratory, conceptually-oriented tasks, and intelligent affect-aware support. The system focusses on natural interaction via intuitive user interfaces, which includes speech recognition, and speech production.
