A Student-centred and AI-Enhanced Approach to Personalized Learning in Problem-Solving Courses

Back to Event

  • Date: Day 1, Tuesday
  • Time: 3:45pm - 4:45pm
  • Location: Winter Room

Presenters:

Haleh Raissadat, Math and Engineering Learning Specialist, Concordia University

Peter Howe, Peer Math Tutor, Concordia University

Session Description:

While generative AI offers significant opportunities for learning, many Gen-AI applications tend to overpromise, particularly in the context of math and problem-solving courses.  

We have developed a Chat-GPT-enhanced virtual Tutor designed to support students in the basic calculus course at Concordia University. It adapts to each student’s individual learning progress and provides personalized assistance tailored to Concordia’s specific curriculum. The tool offers real-time feedback, explanations, and practice problems, enhancing students’ understanding of key calculus concepts. While initially developed for this course, the system’s framework has the potential to be expanded to support other STEM courses. 

Learning Outcomes:  

  • Deepening students’ understanding of a math course content 
  • Increasing accessibility 
  • Tailoring learning specifically designed for Concordia students 

Thank you for taking the time to join our LSAC community today. Before we begin, we would like to pause to intentionally express our gratitude for the land we are on today and to all the Indigenous Peoples past, present and future that have and continue to be stewards of these lands. We recognize that moving forward we are mutually responsible for the caretaking and preservation of this land for future generations.

We commit to co-creating an accountable space. In our LSAC community, we are committed to creating an accountable space where we welcome individual growth, learning, and unlearning. In this space, we recognize and gently remind one another that we are all tender humans with our own stories and experiences, both positive and negative. We aim to lead with kindness, openness, and patience as we identify and break down barriers to create a safer space for us all.
