the students’ instruction, sothat educators can focus more on the material and the students who need more individualattention. Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are such systems that provide instructions to usersof the learning system with little to no intervention from the instructor. The major goal of all ITSis to supplement or replace a human tutor’s interaction with the student, sharing theresponsibility with instructors for the type of modeling, coaching and scaffolding needed forguided learning. Typically, ITS systems seek to identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses,offering help where needed either during questioning or after. Popular ITS systems such asAutotutor (S. D’mello and A. Graesser, 2012) have proven to be highly
