The LTEC-6210: Literature Review Blog Research is a critical component of a Ph.D. Program. It allows a potential scholar to expand their textbook knowledge to understand their chosen field out of the classroom. It fosters critical thinking and enhances analytical skills through experimental learning. By doing research, a student expands his knowledge in the chosen field outside his classroom, as it allows broader educational experience by applying new ideas through study and testing. We, as students, can utilize that experience in the field later in future endeavors. This exercise of reviewing some 30 plus scholarly writings in my interest reinforces the foundation of knowledge on the Intelligent Tutoring System. I was able to identify prior work done on this mode of teaching and learning. I was able to find the gaps in research and problems related to student's engagement in case of boredom and zoning out while using a machine to learn. I could identify that learning effective...

It could be argued that reinforcement affects which responses one will partake in, more than it influences the actual acquisition of the new response. It may be noted here that imit...
