Hands-on introduction to creating intelligent tutoring systems without programming using the cognitive tutor authoring tools (CTAT)

Intelligent tutoring systems guide learners as they practice a complex cognitive skill. They have been shown to enhance learning in a range of domains, and are increasingly being used as platforms for learning science experiments. This workshop provides a hands-on tutorial introduction to building tutors using the freely available Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT). Using CTAT, authors can create a new type of tutors, example-tracing tutors, without programming. No background in computer science is required.
