This $413,700 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop example-based intelligent tutoring systems that can improve the scalability and effectiveness of upskilling and reskilling programs for the evolving workforce.

The key products and services include:

  1. Creation of an "Exemplify" platform to help instructors develop example-based intelligent tutors that provide scaffolding, automated feedback, and other features for teaching complex problem-solving skills.
  2. Randomized controlled classroom experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed example-based intelligent tutors.
  3. Creation of a feedback engine that can provide automated formative feedback to students working on open-ended problem-solving tasks.
  4. Development of a low-cost method for capturing domain expertise by having language models simulate novice learners and generate sample solutions for expert review.

This 5-year project, running from July 2025 to June 2030, will be led by the Regents of the University of Michigan, a prominent U.S. public research university with extensive experience in federal research and contract work.
