We have developed SASK (Socratic ASK * ), a domain-independent and rule-based architecture for implementing Socratic dialogs to foster better learning in well defined tasks by encouraging deeper reflections by the student. We have used SASK to build the Dialysis Mentor, a program that uses Socratic questioning to improve student performance and learning in an undergraduate biomedical engineering lab. Small usability tests and a pilot run in a dialysis lab suggests that Dialysis Mentor and SASK
