This $338,645 federal Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Northwestern University. The grant aims to improve regulation skills in college students by developing "Situated Practice Systems", an intelligent coaching tool that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide tailored feedback and practice opportunities to students and their coaches. The tool will (1) computationally encode learners' regulation behaviors, (2) use AI practice agents to give students reminders and feedback on regulation skills between coaching sessions, and (3) leverage language models and case libraries to provide tailored practice support. This project seeks to address the challenges that both students and coaches face in developing crucial innovation skills for solving social and technical problems. The work will be conducted at Northwestern University and is expected to be completed by July 31, 2028.
