Brief Biography

Dr. Luterbach enjoys teaching and developing instructional applications for learning and performance.  He seeks to develop effective and compelling instructional applications that motivate learners to continually enhance their knowledge and skills.  He wonders about instructional automation, which is the attempt to develop software tutors with capabilities to teach learners.  At minimum, software tutors, like human tutors, must diagnose and remedy learner misconceptions. Dr. Luterbach also wonders how to alter K-12 schools in order to make them equitable for students and teachers.
