Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The paper's assumptions about future software architecture did not materialize, making the plug-in approach infeasible, though the pedagogical approach remains relevant. → Ritter 2016
Evidence¶
Ritter 2016¶
Ritter, S. (2016). Plug-in Tutor Agents: Still Pluggin'. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 26, 405–415. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-015-0062-z
q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
The author's retrospective assessment, published in a peer-reviewed journal, that the software architecture assumptions did not pan out while the pedagogical approach endures.
"Looking back on the paper now, we can see that certain assumptions about the future of software architecture did not come to be, making the particular approach described in the paper infeasible. However, the pedagogical approach assumed by the architecture remains relevant today"
