The Hint Factory is an implementation of our novel method to automatically generate hints using past student data for a logic tutor. One disadvantage of the Hint Factory is the time needed to gather enough data on new problems in order to provide hints. In this paper we describe the use of expert sample solutions to “seed” the hint generation process. We show that just a few expert solutions give...
In our prior work we showed it was feasible to augment a logic tutor with a data-driven Hint Factory that uses data to automatically generate context-specific hints for an existing computer aided instructional tool. Here we investigate the impact of automatically generated hints on educational outcomes in a robust experiment that shows that hints help students persist in deductive logic courses. Three...
