Today we were able to explore different computer based tutors. Here are the three things that i kept in mind while exploring a number of different tutor that taught spanish, math, language art and science.
a. Discuss the potential benefis of the computer tutors.
There is alot of potential in computer tutors. This can really help student better grasp concepts that they may be behind in or want to get ahead in. This can be a great asset to teachers that have computers in the classroom. Most of the tutors are very fun and will be able to motitivate students to learn. Very good resource.
b. Are there any concerns or weaknesses?
Some of the tutors are a little overwhelming in that some of the pages are way to full with options and information. On some of the tutors that ask for a response, you are able to type in anything you want even if it makes no sense and the computer tutor will tell you that it is right.
c. How would you better design those tutors?
I would make some of the tutors a little less overwhelming. Need to keep it simple to navigate. Also need to have some way of checking all answers to see if they are correct like have the teacher being able to go in and see what the student has done and has submitted.
