Abstract

This paper describes a learning companion system called Integration-Kid in the domain of learning indefinite integration. A learning companion system is an intelligent tutoring system of a new breed. Apart from the teacher, a learning companion models after an additional agent, called the learning companion. The learning companion acts as a companion for the human student in learning. Thus the companion performs the learning task at about the same level as the student; and both the student and the companion exchange ideas while being presented the same material by the computer teacher. The computer companion might make mistakes, just like a human student. 1.
