CALM
CALM is a novel Web based tool for enhancing problem-solving skills of students through directed inquiry. Based upon a Socratic pedagogy it presents a student with individualized, algorithmically generated questions on a given topic. Algorithmic generation allows the student to test their comprehension by requesting and solving several different questions on the same topic. Each question and its solution are generated when the question is requested. Thus, the program provides immediate feedback to the student regarding the correctness of the answer provided. Students are not penalized for incorrect answers but are encouraged to reconsider the question and re-answer it.
