Title
Using Virtual Agents To Deliver Lessons In Reading Comprehension To Struggling Adult Learners
Abstract
The Center for the Study of Adult Literacy (CSAL) seeks to improve our understanding of ways to advance the reading skills of adult learners. Our web-based instructional tutor uses trialogues in the AutoTutor framework to deliver lessons in reading comprehension. We have found a way to manipulate proven comprehension strategies to fit the daily tasks of approaching the written word. With the added demand for digital literacy skills in today's world, it is important that adults with low reading ability experience learning on an online platform.
