Abstract :
We developed software that provides intelligent hands-on bench-top dynamic help to students as they study in laboratories for introductory circuit analysis. Tutoring help is available at “teachable moments” as opposed to students waiting days or weeks for traditional teacher-graded labs reports. Quantitative and qualitative studies show that using the software leads to improved learning, verbalization and conceptual knowledge and relieves teachers´ workload. Students also reported that they enjoyed using the software.
