The socratic tutor UI is friendly and in the background we are using a WoZ tool to actually reply to the students so we can evalutate the UI without making a Socratic AI model.
This page is for the first phase of the user study. It is where the student starts and finishes the prototype walkthrough. At any point during the reading of several text extracts on the same topic, they can choose to click the 'Ask tutor' button to get access to the Socratic tutor or the ChatGPT tutor (depending on which experiment group they are).
This page is to have a conversation with a Socratic tutor.
There is no actual tutor! Behind the scenes it is simply a researcher answering the questions because we are using the Wizard-of-Oz technique. This is so we can evaluate the UI without creating a Socratic AI model, resulting in faster feedback!
The WoZ researcher answering the questions does so through the WoZ page available at /tutor/wizard-of-oz.
