E2Coach

The Michigan Tailoring System is an open source software solution developed to customize public health communications. We are adapting MTS to optimize the learning experience in large gateway science courses. The E2Coach system will provide each student with an individualized interface to their class, one that will dynamically recognize their strengths and weaknesses, understand their motivations, and coach them through the course. All students will be better served when we more thoroughly tailor the approach each takes to achieving their learning goals, both high-risk students and those who most easily master the material.
