LISP Intelligent Tutoring System: Research in Skill Acquisition
Albert T. Corbett, John R. Anderson · 2021
The LISP Intelligent Tutoring System (LISPITS) is an instructional program that helps students learn to program in the computer language LISP. Specifically, the tutor helps students with homework exercises. In each exercise the student is given a written description of a short program to write and, as the student types the program at the terminal, the tutor monitors the student&s;s performance and provides assistance when errors are made. The tutor currently covers the first twelve chapters of an introductory LISP text ( Anderson, Corbett & Reiser, 1987 ) and includes approximately 240 exercises.
