Description¶

The paper enumerates how eSylvan instantiated each of Bandura's four requirements in its design. Attention was encouraged by focusing on the individualized lesson with headsets and digital pencil; retention through one-on-one teacher work and repetitive problem sets; reproduction by showing and explaining work; and motivation via praise and digital tokens. This is the article's own worked example of theory-driven design.

Design Implications¶
