The personalized feedback could be really good for learning math. You could develop an "async" model for learning, where the student works on a proof (on their own) and tutor checks in once in a while to give tips and add corrections.
Note for basic arithmetic and algebra, the computer could check the answers automatically, but for proofs and more advanced/subtle arguments, the tutor will serve as the "math compiler" checking the student's work. Here's the discussion where the notion of a "math compiler" came up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11267877 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11267877
- manibatra 10y agoAwesome thanks for the link! Love how it applies to mathematics. "learn by doing" that is so true not just for mathematics but for almost every field. And that is why I find Udacity's model of projects and getting feedback on them quite fascinating. You can study, watch videos, read, do exercises but doing a project/proofs from the ground up can teach one a lot of skills that they directly implement in a work environment. Thanks again.
