GPTutor

GPTutor is a Generative AI (GenAI) powered intelligent tutoring system. Students can engage in self-directed learning by asking questions about the course content provided by instructors. Instructors and students can generate review questions and flashcards based on the instructor’s learning materials to practice and improve knowledge retention. The platform also allows instructors to define realistic simulation-based learning scenarios, such as virtual patient simulations, with 3D avatars and text-to-speech capabilities.
