Carnegie Learning whitepaperIntroduction : "Carnegie Learnings Cognitive Tutor programs give students the opportunity to receive individualized attention, maximizing the amount of time spent actively learning and mastering fundamental sets of knowledge skills. Cognitive Tutor programs are an innovative application of technology, applied content curriculum and cognitive science. An important component of the program is software that is intelligent. That is, it monitors the status of the students knowledge on a moment-by-moment basis and tailors course material, based on these continual assessments."
