The Assistments System was designed by Professor Neil Heffernan to help students learn. We have been enhancing the Assistments system to explore the benefits of scaffolding questions, worked examples, and explanations of individual knowledge components as a means to the main goal. Hopefully, the work we have done these past few terms will translate to more informed middle school students in the subject area of math.
