An article produced in part by the ALLS was discussed in the Nature.com blog. The article’s statement.
“Surprisingly, in one recent experiment he found that an “intelligent tutor” – basically computer learning program with no bells or whistles – engaged math students more than a math game. But those same students registered double the “delight” when they played the game.”
