4. Technical Presentation

Michael Terry	Revealing Problem Solving Strategies, Part 1 Abstract: Many computational tools have been proposed to augment the problem solving process. However, few examine how these tools actually modify people's problem solving strategies. In this talk, I will discuss some basic methods of analyzing the ways tools can affect problem solving strategies.
