We summarize our approach to deriving decision rules that simulate the highly interactive nature of human tutoring, and describe a pilot test that compares two versions of Rimac: an experimental version that deliberately executes these decision rules within a Knowledge Construction Dialogue (KCD) framework, and a control KCD system that does not intentionally execute these rules.
