When it comes to learning a subject matter or skill, each student can be stuck in different areas and have differing needs. Our work on this MQP was done to provide a means to help out with this variability, researching into methods to assist student learning on the ASSISTments platform, a platform used by students all across the world. We looked into knowledge tracing, a way to predict student mastery in relation to problems. We then used that work to implement a service that uses reinforcement learning to provide tailored hint messages to help students with their varying needs.
