  1. MIT Guided Inquiry/Tutorials: On Line Delivery of Review Tutorials and ComplexProblems in Science and EngineeringSteven Lerman, John Belcher, Haynes Miller, Karen Willcox

  2. Overview • MITGIT will be built around structured educational materials, with self-contained tests of student understanding at critical steps in the conceptual development of the material. • The framework will be used to either deliver homework problems or tutorials for courses in the General Institute Requirements. • It can be used both for students in those freshmen courses as well as for students in upper level courses who are seeking to review material from foundational courses.

  3. Implementation • Our test bed development will be based on the courses in which the faculty investigators on this proposal are involved (8.02, 18.03, and 16.060). • This includes faculty from Physics and Mathematics, who are involved in the design and delivery of foundational courses. • And a faculty member from Aeronautics and Astronautics who teaches an upper level course which relies heavily on material taught in foundational courses.

  4. Features • Presentation of educational content as a series of modules, including text, streaming video, and applets. • Posing a sequence of questions such that correct answers at each stage are necessary to proceed to later stages. • A hint/review structure that allows a student to ask for hints or access to online review resources for a given question. • A general authoring tool for creating review modules and course problems. • A grading structure that records student performance and time spent on individual parts of the tutorial or problem and the number of hints/reviews requested • Grade or certification for each student on problems/modules.
