Perhaps these devices can be replaced by "old" teachers. We have been doing this for generations. We recognize those students whose work needs a quick look to see they are on the right track, and we can tell by body language who and how many are confused.
Educators know that changing the cognitive work (even changing how it is presented) will change the experience, so it is good to see that computers are catching up with us... but they still have a long road to surpass us in interacting with other humans.
