A developer of artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring, assessment and professional development software, Quantum Simulations, Inc., announced the results of two research studies conducted at Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, OH and the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK to evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of the Quantum Tutors for the Accounting Cycle.

Students using the Quantum Tutor for transaction analysis, at Baldwin-Wallace College, achieved 3.5 times more gain in test scores over students who studied with the textbook. 86.6 percent of the Tutors' responses, in addition, were rated as "Very Helpful" or "Helpful" which is equivalent to students rating an instructor on every explanation or answer given during a lecture.

Empirical findings in a separate study conducted at the University of Saskatchewan, indicated that after one group of students completed a homework assignment for the topic of transaction analysis using the Quantum Tutor, their test scores improved 1.9 times more than that of a comparable group of students who completed the same homework problems using a textbook publisher's online homework management system. The pattern of performance differences, when the Quantum Tutor was removed from the first group of students and given to the other group, was reversed, with the tutored group gaining 2.6 times more than the online homework group.

The Quantum Tutor, in both studies, enabled students with initially weaker performance to catch up quickly to higher performing students. Furthermore, when the higher performing students used the Quantum Tutor, their test scores climbed even higher. Suggesting their study time was more productive and targeted with the Quantum Tutors, results also indicated that students' ability to account for transactions increased at a significantly faster rate when students used Quantum.
