DEF

A tutoring system that provides unobtrusive assistance while the student is involved in independent learning. It does not lecture, but fosters the learning inherent in the activity, points out existing learning opportunities and transforms failures into learning experiences. It motivates learning and exercises pedagogical judgement.

CONT

A diagnostic tutor compares the student's behavior with that of an expert for the problem domain involved. When discrepancies arise, the student is given advice about better learning or performance strategies. Diagnostic tutors are usually a more appropriate form of ICAI [intelligent computer-assisted instruction] for games, simulations, and problem-solving situations than a mixed-initiative tutor approach.

CONT

... WEST and WUSOR, two early projects concerned with the design of coaching systems.

OBS

Coaches are a variant of tutors which simply monitor a student's problem-solving and so focus on a restricted part of the process of learning programming. Their job is to observe the way that a student tackles a problem and either comment when something seems to be going wrong, provide help when asked or ... try to constrain the student to set about the problem in a particular way.

OBS

Contrast with "mixed-initiative dialog" system and with "directive tutoring".
