Abstract

[This paper describes how BeSocratic can be used to improve learning and class interaction. BeSocratic is a novel intelligent tutoring system that aims to fill the gap between simple multiple-choice systems and free-response systems. The system includes a set of interactive modules that provide instructors with powerful tools to assess student performance. Beyond text boxes and multiple-choice questions, BeSocratic contains several feedback driven modules that can capture free-form student drawings. These drawings can be automatically recognized and evaluated as complex structures including Euclidean graphs, chemistry molecules, computer science graphs, or simple drawings for use within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses. This paper describes three use-cases for BeSocratic and how each scenario can improve learning and class interaction throughout the curriculum. These scenarios are: (1) formative assessments and tutorials, (2) free-response exercises, and (3) in-class real-time activities.]
