Open Adaptive Tutor GenAI Features and Deployments

Open Adaptive Tutor (http://OATutor.io) is a fully open-source (MIT License) and Creative Commons adaptive tutoring system based on ITS principles intended to serve as a tool for learning sciences researchers and engineers to engage in rapid experimentation with the features and HCI of computer tutors. In this workshop, which builds on tutorials at AIED‘23 and L@S’23, we will introduce OATutor 2.0 which includes a chatbot integration framework designed to support experimentation with LLM agent behavior and efficacy, with a hands-on activity customizing the chatbot using our system prompt design. In addition, guest speakers will share their experience with independent deployments of the tutor as well as best practices on chatbot design from researchers in the field.
