Abstract

Established as a research project at the University of Illinois in the spring of 2002, eFuzion has proven to be a valuable and effective pedagogical set of tools. It provides the capacity to both mentor and assess students individually, both during and outside of class. In the summer of 2002, a study we conducted revealed that eFuzion's in-class tools increased student's final grade by more than 6 points. In this paper we describe the evolution of our system and experiences leading up to our "Classroom of the Future" demo for the Grand Opening of the Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science. We conclude with a discussion of our future plans for eFuzion.
