In the 2 Sigma Learning Lab we use Quinn as an embodied agent in the tangible activities for geometry (TAG) system. The TAG system is focused on teaching students basic geometry skills, mainly plotting points in a Cartesian Grid. The TAG system's main tool is Quinn's reactive prompts which help students overcome various misconceptions and teach basic concepts about the Cartesian plane and points. By analyzing past studies using the TAG system my goal is to develop prototypical agent profiles based off of my findings in learner profiles that might facilitate focused tutoring that addresses important misconceptions. Furthermore, applied use of these prototypical agent profiles would allow for students to teach Quinn as an application of the Learning-by-Teaching paradigm.
