q2 i? Unlike earlier technologies bounded by designed dialogue flows, LLMs enable educational support to be generated as an interaction unfolds, across conversational, physically embodied, and spatial or immersive system forms. → Lan Luo 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review's synthesis of prior and reviewed systems (Section 2.1.2 and Findings 2) contrasts pre-LLM conversational systems that matched speech to predefined intents with LLM systems in which "LLMs enable educational support to be generated as an interaction unfolds," informed by preceding turns, participant input, and multimodal context.

"LLMs enable educational support to be generated as an interaction unfolds [ 11, 78, 114]."

• CA prototype technologies shifted from rule-based and deterministic systems toward open-source tools, pre-trained LLMs, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines — a broader claim this one bears on
