Augmented tutoring
First Claim
1. A method of teaching a student, the method comprising:
- providing a simulation to a student that has an objective to accomplish, wherein to achieve the objective a plurality of tasks must be correctly completed; and
providing feedback to the student as the student completes the tasks based at least in part upon the performance in completing each task and a student'"'"'s state while completing the task.

Abstract
An augmented tutoring system is provided that includes a simulation device, at least one sensor and a controller. The simulation device is adapted to provide a simulation that has an objective to accomplish by a student, wherein to achieve the objective a plurality of tasks must be correctly completed. The at least one sensor is adapted to monitor a cognitive state of the student while engaged with the simulation. The controller is adapted to process cognitive state information from the at least one sensor and to process student progress information relating to the completion of each of the tasks. The controller is further adapted to provide feedback to the student based at least in part on the processed cognitive state information and the processed task completion information.

9. A method of training a student, the method comprising:
-
providing a problem to a student, the problem having one or more definable steps between a start and a goal;
evaluating a students progress as the student completes each of the steps of the problem;
monitoring the student'"'"'s neurophysiological activities while the student completes each of the steps of the problem; and
providing real time feedback to the student based at least in part on the students progress in completing each step and the student'"'"'s neurophysiological activities in completing each step. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

19. A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon for increasing the effectiveness of a learning simulation, the method comprising:
-
associating sensed student'"'"'s state with the progress of the student with a simulation problem;
determining a plan to increase the effectiveness of the simulation based at least in part on the sensed student'"'"'s state and the student progress in the simulation; and
directing the simulation to provide feedback to the student based on the determined plan. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
