Abstract
The “Engaging STEM Undergraduate Students in Computer Science with Intelligent Tutoring Systems” project will see the design, development, and evaluation of the Personalized Real-time Intelligent Mentoring Environment (PRIME) system, which will provide adaptive problem-solving support and adaptive motivational support to help students learn to solve computing problems. PRIME will track each student’s progress while providing real-time feedback, multiple levels of hints, and customized problem-solving advice throughout students’ learning interactions. The project will use the block programming language “Snap!” as it eliminates most syntax errors, freeing students to focus on concepts and logic.
