MetaTutor Intelligent Tutoring System

I played a key role in the design and development of MetaTutor, an intelligent tutoring system created to help students learn complex biological topics, such as the human circulatory system. The system was specifically designed to enhance students' self-regulated learning skills by providing targeted scaffolding and adaptive feedback that assisted them in utiliziing SRL processes. My responsibilities included defining educational objectives, developing content, and ensuring the system effectively supported individual learning needs. MetaTutor empowered students to better understand challenging biological concepts while building critical skills to regulate and optimize their own learning strategies.
