Abstract

We investigate the reasons behind students’ different responses to human versus machine tutors and explore possible solutions that will motivate students to offer more elaborated responses to computerized tutoring systems, and ultimately behave in a more “learning oriented” manner. We focus upon two sets of variables, one surrounding the students’ perceptions of tutor qualities and the other surrounding the conversational dynamics of the dialogues themselves. We offer recommendations based on our empirical investigations.
