Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are platforms that allow for students to learn concepts and receive feedback through the use of computers. Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are software systems that work with students to help a with learning a skill. Fundamentally, ITS provide feedback to students in order to facilitate learning and growth. Modern ITS help educate students across a vast array of topics. ITS are leveraged in reading comprehension education, helping students to improve their ability to read and understand various forms of text.

Wilbur will be an ITS that provides the framework required to build lessons that help students improve their reading comprehension skills. Wilbur focuses on two main aspects of ITS that are lacking in other implementations. First, Wilbur works towards providing student engagement, and has the framework in place to provide feedback that is at the appropriate level for the student’s performance. Second, Wilbur focuses on providing teachers with a simple way to create lessons for students, making the system approachable and user friendly. Wilbur is a web-based tool, providing easy access to students and teachers in remote learning-based scenarios.
