Teaching tip: Virtual tutoring
April 2, 2013
Learn how individualized instruction and just-in-time tutoring encourages students
to learn more easily using virtual tutoring. Using a virtual tutor allows instructors
to create an environment where learners interact with a computerized conversational
partner to get advice, feedback or instruction. Students can participate actively

may be humans, animals or inanimate objects; the advent of more powerful computers
brings agents designed to interact with the learner similar to that of the human teacher-student
relationship.
