Quantum Tutors - Field Research: AI Tutoring Software Increases Test Scores and Maximizes Student Effectiveness (University of Saskatchewan)
After one group of students completed a homework assignment using the Quantum Tutor, their test scores improved 1.9 times more than a group of students who used an online homework management system. When the Quantum Tutor was removed from the first group of students and given to the other group, the pattern of performance differences was reversed, with the tutored group gaining 2.6 times more than the online homework group.
